Question

How do you divide 978 by 37 step by step

Answer 1

First you have to put it into the correct format

   

    37 l 978

    Since 37 fits into the number 97 2 time you would write the two on top of the 7 then subtract 72 (37 times 2) from 97

        2 6

37 l 978. 0

      72  l                now bring down the 8 to get 258

            V

      2 5 8        Now find how many times 37 can fully fit into 258 which is 6 so put the 6 at the top next to the 2 and subtract 222 from 258

      258-222    This equals 36  so add a decimal to the 8 and bring down the zero      

         360         find how many times 37 fits into 360 and repeat the process  your final answer will be 26.43

sorry about the format
