Question

$$\frac{ 73 }{ 21 } =$$

Evaluate

$\frac{73}{21}\approx 3.476190476$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $7$ from dividend $73$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}\phantom{1}\\21\overline{)73}\\\end{array}$$

Since $7$ is less than $21$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $73$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{2}\\21\overline{)73}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $73$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{3}\\21\overline{)73}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $21$ to $73$. We see that $3 \times 21 = 63$ is the nearest. Now subtract $63$ from $73$ to get reminder $10$. Add $3$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}03\phantom{4}\\21\overline{)73}\\\phantom{21)}\underline{\phantom{}63\phantom{}}\\\phantom{21)}10\\\end{array}$$

Since $10$ is less than $21$, stop the division. The reminder is $10$. The topmost line $03$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $3$.

$$\text{Quotient: }3$$ $$\text{Reminder: }10$$
