Need help with division question! :)?

Question

Hi there. It's been such a long time since I have done this and I need a refresher!! Here is the question and answer. 60/133..If you plug this problem into a calculator, you'll get 2.21667.

Now with long division the answer is: 2 Remainder 13. But how do I divide correctly without a calculator in order to get the answer..2.21667 .....Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

You must mean 133/60:

133/60 = (120 + 13) / 60 = (120/60) + (13/60) = 2 + (13/60)

Answer 2

133/60=

60 into 133=   2 times

                    2*60=120

-------------------------------

                      130

60 into 130    2 times

                    2*60=120

60 into  100    1 time

                     1*60= 60

60  into 400    6 times  and will repeat after that

leaving you with 2.2166....7

Answer 3

remember that 133 is just like 133.00000. in long division just keep bringing down those extra zeroes until you no longer need to (or until you get tired).

---------______

so 60 |133.

60 goes into 133 twice.

subtract 120 and get 13 left.

bring down a 0 making that 130

60 goes into 130 twice

subtract 120 and get 10 left

bring down a 0 making that 100

60 goes into 100 once

subtract 60 and get 40

bring down a 0 making it 400

60 goes into 400 6 times

subtract 360 and get 40

as you can see, 6 will be repeated because you will constantly be left with 40 which turns into 400.

Answer 4

You got it backwards. It's 133/60 = 2.21667.

Long division to find quotient and remainder:

133/60 = 2 remainder 13

60 * 2 = 120

133 - 120 = 13 = remainder

Then 13/60 = 0.21667

Then add 2 + 0.21667 = 2.21667

In order to do the long division of 13/60, here's how:

60|13

6|1.3 = 0.2 R 0.1 so far...

6|1 = 0.21 R 0.4 so far...

6|4 = 0.216 R 0.4 so far...

continue adding zeros to the right and dividing until you reach the desired number of digits.
