Question

what is the remainder of 368.5/2,948

Answer 1

To find the remainder of \(368.5\) when divided by \(2,948\), we can follow these steps:

1. Perform the division:
\[
368.5 \div 2,948 \approx 0.124
\]
This indicates that \(2,948\) can fit into \(368.5\) a little more than \(0.124\) times.

2. To find the remainder, we can calculate:
\[
\text{Remainder} = 368.5 - (2,948 \times \text{integer part of the quotient})
\]
Since the integer part of the quotient is \(0\):
\[
\text{Remainder} = 368.5 - (2,948 \times 0) = 368.5
\]

Thus, the remainder when \(368.5\) is divided by \(2,948\) is \(368.5\).
