Anonymous Subject: Long Division I'm in a 4th grade class. We are getting ready for T.A.A.S. We are about to study long division. I want to learn more about it before the rest so I can be ready instead of waiting for the math book!

Answer 2

Oh, dude, let me think about this... 36 goes into 212 about 5.88888888 times. But like, who's counting, right? Just divide 212 by 36 and you'll get a decimal that goes on and on. So, like, approximately 5.89 times, but who's really keeping track, am I right?

Answer 3

Well, honey, if you divide 212 by 36, you get 5 with a remainder of 32. So, technically, 36 goes into 212 five times, but it doesn't fit perfectly. Just like trying to squeeze into those jeans after the holidays - close, but not quite there.
