Question

$$\frac{268}{120}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{67}{30}\approx 2.233333333$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $268$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}\phantom{1}\\120\overline{)268}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $120$, use the next digit $6$ from dividend $268$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}0\phantom{2}\\120\overline{)268}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $6$ from dividend $268$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}0\phantom{3}\\120\overline{)268}\\\end{array}$$

Since $26$ is less than $120$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $268$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}00\phantom{4}\\120\overline{)268}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $268$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}00\phantom{5}\\120\overline{)268}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $120$ to $268$. We see that $2 \times 120 = 240$ is the nearest. Now subtract $240$ from $268$ to get reminder $28$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{120)}002\phantom{6}\\120\overline{)268}\\\phantom{120)}\underline{\phantom{}240\phantom{}}\\\phantom{120)9}28\\\end{array}$$

Since $28$ is less than $120$, stop the division. The reminder is $28$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }28$$
