Question

When 1760 is divided into 14 equal parts the remainder is 6 what is a correct way to write the quotient

Answer 1

The remainder when 1760 is divided by 14 is actually 10, not 6. The fraction 10/14 can be reduced to 5/7. The quotient can be written several ways:

...
`(880)/(7)`

...
`125. \overline{714285}`

...
`125(5)/(7)`

and the method sometimes used when long division is first introduced ...

...
`125\ \text{r}\ 10`
