Question

What is 858 divided by 57 using partial quotients

Answer 1

The answer will be:
`15 + (3)/(57)`

Explanation:

In Partial quotients method, first we will subtract an easy multiple of the divisor from the dividend. Then repeat the subtraction until the remainder is less than the divisor. Finally, we need to add up all the multiples of the divisor to find the quotient of the division.

Here, dividend is 858 and divisor is 57.

`57)\overline{858}`

- 570 × 10

288

- 285 × 5

3

So, the quotient of the division will be:
`(10+5)=15` and the remainder is: 3

We can write the answer as:
`15 + (3)/(57)`
