The question wants us to evaluate the result when we perform the following mathematical operation:
The quotient is the answer obtained when we divide one number by another.
We can work this out using the long division method.
Step 1: Write out the divisor, 4, on the left side and the dividend, 82, on the right
Step 2: Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor. Write out the result at the top. Multiply the result by the divisor and place below the first digit
Step 3: Subtract the numbers and bring down the next digit
Step 4: Divide the number by the divisor. Since the number is less than the divisor, place a 0 at the top and add a decimal point. Add a 0 to the back of the 2 as well
Step 5: Divide the number now by the divisor and write out the result at the top. Multiply the result by the divisor and subtract as shown below
ANSWER
The quotient of 82 and 4 is 20 with a remainder of 2.
The division yields:
