Use long division to solve 4 divided by 763
Show all the steps
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).
