Hope this helps :)
Explanation:
divisor
↓ ? <------ quotient
23 | 342 <------ dividend
remainder = r (the number that the divisor can't go into.
1) 23 goes into 34 one time, so we write the one on top.
1
23 | 342
2) 23 • 1 = 23 so then we subtract 23 from 34 and get 11.
1
23 | 342
- 23
1 1
3) Now we carry down the 2 and get 112.
1
23 | 342
- 23 ↓
1 1 2
4) 23 goes into 112 four times, so we write the four on top.
1 4
23 | 342
- 23 ↓
1 1 2
5) 23 • 14 = 92 so we subtract 92 from 112 and get 20.
1 4
23 | 342
- 23 ↓
1 1 2
- 92
20
6) 23 can't go into 20 so we add a decinal and a zero to 342 (dividend) and add a decimal to 14 too.
1 4.
23 | 342.0
- 23 ↓
1 1 2
- 92
20
7) Repeat the same steps again (Take the first digit of the dividend from the left. Check if this digit is greater than or equal to the divisor (if greater use it if less than take the next number). Then divide it by the divisor and write the answer on top as the quotient. Subtract the result from the digit and write the difference below. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (if present). Repeat the same process.)
1 4.8
23 | 342.0
- 23 ↓↓
1 1 2
- 92
200
- 1 84
16
8) Keep repeating and then we get 14.8695652174
*However, if the directions say to not continue and add the decimal and zero then we must put a remainer (r).*
