290 divided by 50,

A. Is it 5 remainder 8?

I get 5, remainder 40 when I do it with paper and pencil.

Using a calculator, I get 5.8

Hmm I don't know which one is right..

Both are right.

To calculate the division of 290 divided by 50, you can follow these steps:

1. Divide the first digit of the dividend (290) by the divisor (50). In this case, 2 divided by 50 would be 0, as 2 is smaller than 50.

2. Moving on, bring down the next digit of the dividend, which is 9, and combine it with the result from step 1. So now we have 29.

3. Divide 29 by 50. This gives us 0 again, as 29 is still smaller than 50.

4. Bring down the last digit of the dividend, which is 0, and combine it with the result from step 3. So now we have 0.

5. Divide 0 by 50. The result is 0.

Therefore, the quotient of 290 divided by 50 is 5 with no remainder, not 5 remainder 8.
