How to solve (51)/(18)

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

$$\frac{ 51 }{ 18 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{17}{6}\approx 2.833333333$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $51$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}\phantom{1}\\18\overline{)51}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $18$, use the next digit $1$ from dividend $51$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{2}\\18\overline{)51}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $1$ from dividend $51$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}0\phantom{3}\\18\overline{)51}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $18$ to $51$. We see that $2 \times 18 = 36$ is the nearest. Now subtract $36$ from $51$ to get reminder $15$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{18)}02\phantom{4}\\18\overline{)51}\\\phantom{18)}\underline{\phantom{}36\phantom{}}\\\phantom{18)}15\\\end{array}$$

Since $15$ is less than $18$, stop the division. The reminder is $15$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }15$$
