Wouldnt it be 53.1? ---- No this is how many could not be placed into the answer you done by hand. The easiest way I have found to convert this to the correct answer is as follows: Lets use 242 ÷ 7 = 34 r4

OR.

........3 4 r4

...._______

7 / 2 4 32 Sorry about the dots, but answers.com don't allow for spaces at the start of the paragraph.

We take the remainder 4 in this case, and take what we divided it by, 7 this time, and divide that. Which gives us 4 ÷ 7 = .5714. Simply tagging that onto the end is approate.

On the calculator, it can show as 34.5714.........., because we are likely doing this by hand, the numbers can literally continue infinity, for this reason, I have only done it to four decimal places. My calculator on the other hand displays
