what is the next digit in the quotient?

3 answers

The next digit in the quotient is 7.

Explanation:
2142 divided by 18 is equal to 119, with a remainder of 10.
The next digit in the quotient is found by dividing the next digit in the dividend (3) by the divisor (18), which equals 0.1666 (approximately 0) since the remainder is already 10.

Therefore, the next digit in the quotient is 7.
NO
I apologize for the confusion. Let's re-calculate the division:

2142 divided by 18 equals 119 with a remainder of 10. To find the next digit in the quotient, we need to bring down the next digit in the dividend, which is 2.

Adding 2 to the remainder of 10 gives us 102. Therefore, when we divide this new number, 102, by 18, we get the quotient of 5 with no remainder.

So, the next digit in the quotient is 5.
