How to solve (53)/(40)

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

$$\frac{ 53 }{ 40 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{53}{40}=1.325$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $5$ from dividend $53$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}\phantom{1}\\40\overline{)53}\\\end{array}$$

Since $5$ is less than $40$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $53$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{2}\\40\overline{)53}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $53$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}0\phantom{3}\\40\overline{)53}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $40$ to $53$. We see that $1 \times 40 = 40$ is the nearest. Now subtract $40$ from $53$ to get reminder $13$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{40)}01\phantom{4}\\40\overline{)53}\\\phantom{40)}\underline{\phantom{}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{40)}13\\\end{array}$$

Since $13$ is less than $40$, stop the division. The reminder is $13$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }13$$
