Don't understand how you get the 8 by 17
To understand how to get the result of 8 by 17, we need to perform the division operation. Division is a mathematical operation that involves splitting a number into equal parts or groups.
To calculate 8 divided by 17, we can use long division, which is a common method for performing division.
1. Start by placing the divisor (the number you're dividing by) on the left side of the division bracket. In this case, it's 17. Write 17 on the left.
______
17 │ 8
2. Next, we need to determine how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend (the number being divided). Ask yourself: "How many times does 17 fit into 8?" Since 17 is larger than 8, the answer is 0. Write 0 above the division bracket on the right.
0
______
17 │ 8
3. Now, we multiply the 0 by the divisor (17) and write the result below the dividend (8). Subtract the product (0) from the dividend (8) to get the remainder.
0
______
17 │ 8
- 0
4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 0. Append it to the remainder obtained in step 3, so we now have 8 as the new dividend.
0
______
17 │ 8
- 0
5. Repeat step 2 to determine how many times 17 can fit into the new dividend of 80. The answer is 4, as 17 multiplied by 4 is 68. Write 4 above the division bracket beside the 0.
04
______
17 │ 8
- 0
6. Multiply 4 by the divisor (17) and write the product (68) below the dividend (80). Subtract 68 from 80 to get the remainder.
