Question

What is 3 divided by 512 ?

Answer 1

`\text{3 divided by 512 is }(3)/(512)`
`We\text{ are using the long division method to divide 3 by 512.}`

Here 3 is smaller than 512 so we write 0.00 as the quotient.

Now 3000 is divisible by 512.

Substract 2560 from 3000, we get 440

now again 440 is smaller than 512, so we write 0 near 440 we get 4400.

Now 4400 is the dividend.

If we proceed with this division we get

`(3)/(512)=0.005859375`

Hence the approximate answer is

`(3)/(512)\approx0.01`
