How do you divide 2947 by 8?

Answer 1

8)2947 ===

To do this we say ' 8 into 29 goes 3 times(24) remainder '5'.

So the first part of the answer is '3'

Hence

8)2947 = 3 ...

The remainder '5' is placed with the '4' to read '54' ( NOT 9).

So 8 into 54 goes 6 times (48) remainderr '6'

So the second part of ther answer is '6'

Hence

8)2947 = 36....

Similarly the remainder '6' is placed with the '7' to read '67' (NOT 13)

So 8 into 67 goes 8 times (64) remainderr '3'

So the third part of ther answer is '8'

Hence

8)2947 = 368 ....

We now insert a decimal point and zeroes.

Hence

8)2947.0000 = 368...

Similarly the remainder '3' is placed with the '0' to read '30' (NOT 3)

So 8 into 30 goes 3 times (24) remainderr '6'

So the fourth part of ther answer is '3'

Hence

8)2947.0000 = 368.3....

Similarly the remainder '6' is placed with the first '0' to read '60' (NOT 6)

So 8 into 60 goes 7 times (56) remainderr '4'

So the fifth part of ther answer is '7'

Hence

8)2947.000 = 368.37....

Similarly the remainder '4' is placed with the second '0' to read '40' (NOT 4)

So 8 into 40 goes 5 times (0) remainder.

So the fifth part of ther answer is '5'

Hence

8)2947.000 = 368.375 The Answer. Since there is no remainder, the division stops.

Fractionally the answer would be ' 368 3/8'.

NB It looks complex , but it is rather more repetative!!!!!

Answer 2
