Question

$$\frac{ 358 }{ 125 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{358}{125}=2.864$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $3$ from dividend $358$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}\phantom{1}\\125\overline{)358}\\\end{array}$$

Since $3$ is less than $125$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $358$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}0\phantom{2}\\125\overline{)358}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $358$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}0\phantom{3}\\125\overline{)358}\\\end{array}$$

Since $35$ is less than $125$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $358$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}00\phantom{4}\\125\overline{)358}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $358$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}00\phantom{5}\\125\overline{)358}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $125$ to $358$. We see that $2 \times 125 = 250$ is the nearest. Now subtract $250$ from $358$ to get reminder $108$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}002\phantom{6}\\125\overline{)358}\\\phantom{125)}\underline{\phantom{}250\phantom{}}\\\phantom{125)}108\\\end{array}$$

Since $108$ is less than $125$, stop the division. The reminder is $108$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }108$$
