How to solve (88)/(33)

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

$$\frac{ 88 }{ 33 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{8}{3}\approx 2.666666667$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $8$ from dividend $88$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{33)}\phantom{1}\\33\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Since $8$ is less than $33$, use the next digit $8$ from dividend $88$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{33)}0\phantom{2}\\33\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $8$ from dividend $88$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{33)}0\phantom{3}\\33\overline{)88}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $33$ to $88$. We see that $2 \times 33 = 66$ is the nearest. Now subtract $66$ from $88$ to get reminder $22$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{33)}02\phantom{4}\\33\overline{)88}\\\phantom{33)}\underline{\phantom{}66\phantom{}}\\\phantom{33)}22\\\end{array}$$

Since $22$ is less than $33$, stop the division. The reminder is $22$. The topmost line $02$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }22$$
