How to solve (50)/(21)

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

$$\frac{ 50 }{ 21 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{50}{21}\approx 2.380952381$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $50$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}\phantom{1}\\21\overline{)50}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $21$, use the next digit $0$ from dividend $50$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{2}\\21\overline{)50}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $0$ from dividend $50$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{3}\\21\overline{)50}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $21$ to $50$. We see that $2 \times 21 = 42$ is the nearest. Now subtract $42$ from $50$ to get reminder $8$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}02\phantom{4}\\21\overline{)50}\\\phantom{21)}\underline{\phantom{}42\phantom{}}\\\phantom{21)9}8\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $21$, stop the division. The reminder is $8$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }8$$
