Answer 1

To solve 4 divided by 763 using long division, follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the division problem with a horizontal line separating the dividend (4) and the divisor (763):

-----------
763│4

Step 2: Determine how many times the divisor (763) can go into the first digit of the dividend (4). In this case, it would be 0 because 763 is greater than 4.

Step 3: Since the divisor cannot go into the first digit, bring down the next digit (0) from the dividend.

------------
763│40

Step 4: Determine how many times the divisor (763) can go into the updated dividend (40). In this case, it would be 0 again because 763 is still greater than 40.

Step 5: Bring down the next digit (0).

-------------
763│400

Step 6: Determine how many times the divisor (763) can go into the updated dividend (400). In this case, it would be 0 again because 763 is still greater than 400.

Step 7: Bring down the next digit (0).

--------------
763│4000

Step 8: Determine how many times the divisor (763) can go into the updated dividend (4000). In this case, it would be 5 because 763 times 5 equals 3815.

Step 9: Multiply the divisor (763) by the quotient (5) you obtained in Step 8: 763 x 5 = 3815.

Step 10: Subtract the product (3815) from the dividend (4000): 4000 - 3815 = 185.

Step 11: Bring down the next digit (0).

---------------
763│4000
- 3815
------
185

Step 12: Determine how many times the divisor (763) can go into the updated dividend (185). In this case, it would be 0 again because 763 is much larger than 185.

Step 13: There are no more digits to bring down, so we have completed the long division process.

Step 14: The quotient is the result of the division: 4 ÷ 763 = 0.0052 (rounded to four decimal places).
