Question

Explain how a calculator shows the remainder when you divide 145by8

Answer 1

Well to start off, there is no remainder because... let me explain

8/145
on the top there will first be a one. Then u subtract 8 from 14 and get six. Bring down the five and you get sixty five. you put an eight on the top then a 64 under the 65 and when you subtract you get one. You have no more numbers to bring down, so u put a decimal next to the 5 in 145 and add a zero. it would look like this... 145.0 . then you also have to put the decimal on the top. The calculator though, does all of it for you which gets you the answer of 18.125.

Answer 2

The calculator would most likely write it in  decimal form which is 18.125 instead of the remainder which would be 18 R1 or the fraction which would be 18 1/8
