Question

Divide numbers and express the remainder as a decimal.
Example 16√8302

Answer 1

To divide numbers and express the remainder as a decimal, you can follow these steps:

1. Perform the division.
2. Identify the quotient and the remainder.
3. Express the remainder as a decimal by continuing the division.

Let's solve \( 16 \div 8302 \):

1. Divide 16 by 8302, which is \( 0 \) with a remainder of \( 16 \) because 16 is less than 8302.

So, we can express this as:
\[
16 \div 8302 = 0 \quad \text{(quotient)}
\]
\[
\text{remainder} = 16
\]

2. To express the remainder as a decimal, keep dividing by adding decimal places to the dividend:
- Write it as \( 16.000000 \) and divide by 8302.

3. Dividing \( 16.000000 \) by 8302:
- \( 16.000000 \div 8302 \approx 0.001927 \) (to six decimal places)

Combining this, we can express:

\[
16 \div 8302 = 0.001927 \text{ (approximation)}
\]

So, \( 16 \div 8302 \) equals approximately \( 0.001927 \).
