1466/5

step by step

1 answer

To divide \( 1466 \) by \( 5 \) step by step, you can use long division. Here’s how it works:

  1. Set up the division: Write \( 1466 \) under the division bar and \( 5 \) outside.
     ________
5 | 1466
  1. Divide the first digit: Look at the first digit (1). Since \( 1 \) is less than \( 5 \), we move to the next digit (14).

  2. Divide 14 by 5:

    • \( 5 \) goes into \( 14 \) how many times? \( 2 \) times (because \( 5 \times 2 = 10 \)).
    • Write \( 2 \) above the division bar.

     ________
5 | 1466
    -10  (5 * 2)
    -----
  1. Subtract: Subtract \( 10 \) from \( 14 \): \[ 14 - 10 = 4 \]

  2. Bring down the next digit: Bring down the next digit (the next digit in \( 1466 \) is \( 6 \)). Now you have \( 46 \).

      46
  1. Divide 46 by 5:
    • \( 5 \) goes into \( 46 \) \( 9 \) times (because \( 5 \times 9 = 45 \)).
    • Write \( 9 \) above the division bar.

      46
    -45  (5 * 9)
    -----
  1. Subtract again: Subtract \( 45 \) from \( 46 \): \[ 46 - 45 = 1 \]

  2. Bring down the last digit: Bring down the last digit (which is also \( 6 \)). Now you have \( 16 \).

      16
  1. Divide 16 by 5:
    • \( 5 \) goes into \( 16 \) \( 3 \) times (because \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \)).
    • Write \( 3 \) above the division bar.
     293

      46

      16
    -15  (5 * 3)
    -----
  1. Subtract one more time: Subtract \( 15 \) from \( 16 \): \[ 16 - 15 = 1 \]

  2. Write the remainder: Now you have reached the end of the digits in \( 1466 \). The remainder is \( 1 \).

So, the final result of the division \( 1466 \div 5 \) is: \[ 293 \text{ with a remainder of } 1 \]

You can state this in mixed number form as: \[ 1466 \div 5 = 293 \frac{1}{5} \]

Or in decimal form, since there is a remainder, you can extend the division: When you divide, \( 1 \) can be expressed as \( 0.2 \) (which is \( \frac{1}{5} \)), giving you: \[ 1466 \div 5 = 293.2 \]
