What is 5 divided by 102 long division?

Answer 1

0.049

Answer 2

It is difficult to show here, but assume the 102 is there on the left side of the division sign.

0.049019....

---------

5.00000

408

0920

0918

00020

000200

000102

0000980

so 408 (which is 4*102) is subtracted from '500' to get 92. Bring down a zero and you have 920. (920/102 = 9 remainder 2)

9*102= 118. Subtract from 920 = 2 (that's the 2 remainder from above). Bring down a zero. 20 is not big enough, bring down another zero. 200/102 = 1, remainder 98. Bring down a zero and we have 980. Divide by 102 = 9. Keep going until you see repetition, which may be awhile, or till you have sufficient digits. I took it to 0.0490196078431373 and don't see repetition, yet.
