The steps are below:

Shift the decimal points of both 719.711 and 8.75 to the right by 2 decimal places. (This is needed to convert 8.75 to 875, since long division must divide by a whole number.) Set up the long division. Calculate 7197 ÷ 875, which is 8 with a remainder of 197. Bring down 1, so that 1971 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 1971 ÷ 875, which is 2 with a remainder of 221. Bring down 1, so that 2211 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 2211 ÷ ÷ 875, which is 2 with a remainder of 461. Bring down 0, so that 4610 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 4610 ÷ 875, which is 5 with a remainder of 235. Bring down 0, so that 2350 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 2350 ÷ 875, which is 2 with a remainder of 600. Bring down 0, so that 6000 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 6000 ÷ 875, which is 6 with a remainder of 750. Bring down 0, so that 7500 is large enough to be divided by 875. Calculate 7500 ÷ 875, which is 8 with a remainder of 500.

The answer

Therefore, 719.711 ÷ 8.75 ≈ 82.25268.
82.2526882.25268

I know that was a lot! Hope this helped :D

Hi!

Change 719.711 to 720 and 8.75 is 9.
and 720 dividided by 9 is 80

Change 719.711 to 700 and 8.75 to 9.
700 divided by 9 is 77.77...

those are the only two I can think of that'll work, but I think that 80 would be the best answer.
