The correct answer is 2.2941.
To find the division of 78 ÷ 34, follow these steps:
1. Divide the first digit of the dividend (78) by the divisor (34). In this case, divide 7 by 3, which equals 2. Write down the result as the first digit of the quotient.
2. Multiply the quotient digit (2) by the divisor (34). In this case, 2 * 34 = 68.
3. Find the difference between the first part of the dividend (78) and the product (68). In this case, subtract 68 from 78: 78 - 68 = 10.
4. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0) and append it to the difference obtained in the previous step. In this case, append 0 to 10, resulting in 100.
5. Divide the new number (100) by the divisor (34). In this case, divide 100 by 34, which equals 2. Write down the result as the second digit of the quotient, next to the previous digit (2).
6. Multiply the new quotient digit (2) by the divisor (34). In this case, 2 * 34 = 68.
7. Find the difference between the new part of the dividend (100) and the product (68). In this case, subtract 68 from 100: 100 - 68 = 32.
8. Since there are no more digits to bring down, the division is complete.
Therefore, the answer is 2 remainder 32, represented as Start Fraction 2 over 32 End Fraction or simply 2 32/34.
To find the answer to the problem 78 ÷ 34, you need to divide 78 by 34. Here's the step-by-step process to solve it:
1. Write down the division problem: 78 ÷ 34.
2. Start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (78) by the divisor (34). In this case, 7 divided by 3 is equal to 2, and the remainder is 1.
3. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (the 8) and combine it with the remainder from the previous step. The new dividend is now 18.
4. Divide the new dividend, 18, by the divisor (34). In this case, since 18 is smaller than 34, we know that the result will be a decimal.
5. To convert this division problem into a fraction, you can write it as a numerator and denominator. The numerator is the dividend (18 in this case), and the denominator is the divisor (34).
So, the simplified fraction is 18/34.
Thus, the correct answer to the problem 78 ÷ 34 is given by the fraction 18/34.
