How to solve (43)/(20)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{ 43 }{ 20 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{43}{20}=2.15$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $4$ from dividend $43$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)43}\\\end{array}$$

Since $4$ is less than $20$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $43$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)43}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $43$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)43}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $43$. We see that $2 \times 20 = 40$ is the nearest. Now subtract $40$ from $43$ to get reminder $3$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}02\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)43}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)9}3\\\end{array}$$

Since $3$ is less than $20$, stop the division. The reminder is $3$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }3$$
