Question

long division to solve 9 ) 82.8

Answer 1

To perform long division of 82.8 by 9, follow these steps:

1. **Set up the long division**: Write 82.8 under the division symbol and 9 outside.

2. **Divide 9 into the first digit (8)**: Since 9 cannot go into 8, you write 0 above the division line and bring down the next digit.

3. **Divide 9 into the next digit (82)**: Now consider the first two digits (82). 9 goes into 82 a total of 9 times because \( 9 \times 9 = 81 \). Write 9 above the division line.

4. **Subtract**: Now subtract 81 from 82, which leaves you with 1.

5. **Bring down the next digit**: Bring down the next digit (8) so now you have 18.

6. **Divide 9 into 18**: 9 goes into 18 exactly 2 times because \( 9 \times 2 = 18 \). Write 2 above the division line.

7. **Subtract**: Subtract 18 from 18 which leaves you with 0.

8. **Result**: Since there are no more digits to bring down, the division ends here.

Putting it all together, you have:

- The quotient is 9.2
- So, \( 82.8 \div 9 = 9.2 \).

Thus, \( 9 \) into \( 82.8 \) gives you \( 9.2 \).
