How to solve 3 divided by 2428
3/2428 = 0.0012355
To solve the division problem 3 divided by 2428, you need to divide 3 by 2428.
To do this, you can use a calculator, which is the quickest and easiest way. Simply input the number 3 and then the division symbol (/) followed by the number 2428. Press the equal (=) button, and the calculator will give you the quotient.
If you don't have a calculator, you can also solve this division problem manually. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. Set up the division problem: Write down the number 3 as the dividend (the number being divided) and the number 2428 as the divisor (the number you're dividing by), like this:
2428
______
3
2. Perform long division: Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (in this case, 2) by the divisor (2428). Since 2 is smaller than 2428, the quotient will be 0. Write this 0 above the line, next to the dividend:
0
______
3
3. Bring down the next digit: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (4) and place it on the right side of the previous quotient (0):
0
______
34
4. Divide: Now, divide the new dividend (34) by the divisor (2428). Since 34 is smaller than 2428, the quotient will be 0. Write this 0 next to the previous quotient:
00
______
34
5. Repeat: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (2). Now, divide the new dividend (342) by the divisor (2428). Since 342 is smaller than 2428, the quotient will be 0. Write this 0 next to the previous quotient:
000
______
342
6. Continue: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (8). Now, divide the new dividend (3428) by the divisor (2428). Since 3428 is larger than 2428, the quotient will be 1. Write this 1 next to the previous quotient:
0001
______
3428
7. Subtract and bring down: Multiply the divisor (2428) by the quotient (1), and subtract the result (2428) from the dividend (3428). Write this difference (1156) underneath the line, and bring down the next digit (another 8) from the dividend:
0001
______
3428
- 2428
______
1156
8. Divide: Now, divide the new dividend (1156) by the divisor (2428). Since 1156 is smaller than 2428, the quotient will be 0. Write this 0 next to the previous quotient:
00010
______
3428
- 2428
______
1156
9. Subtract and bring down: Repeat the process by multiplying the divisor (2428) by the quotient (0), and subtracting the result (0) from the previous difference (1156). Bring down the final digit (another 8) from the dividend:
000100
______
3428
- 2428
______
1156
- 0
______
1156
10. Divide: Finally, divide the new dividend (1156) by the divisor (2428). Since 1156 is smaller than 2428, the quotient will be 0. Write this 0 next to the previous quotient:
0001000
______
3428
- 2428
______
1156
- 0
______
1156
After completing these steps, you'll find that the quotient of 3 divided by 2428 is approximately 0.001236.
Please note that when manually solving division problems, it's important to recognize when a repeating pattern emerges or if the division does not have a definite end.
