How do I divide two numbers and get an answer that does not
have a remainder?
Answer in mixed number form:
This strategy is just like answering with a remainder except
now when you get your answer the remainder is the numerator of your fraction
and the denominator is the divisor
This equation means we need to see how many times the
divisor goes into the dividend
When we switch to long division mode we put the dividend
under the division house and the divisor outside
3 goes into 16 five times with 1 left over, so in remainder
mode we say 16 divided by 3 is 5 with a remainder of 1
But we want an exact answer so the remainder because the numerator
of a fraction because it is the “part” left over and the divisor becomes the
denominator because it is the whole that we started with.
This time the divisor is the greater number
The divisor goes outside of the division house
Add a decimal and three zeroes after the dividend and put a
decimal on the division house because your answer will be a decimal
As you can see three zeroes were not enough, that’s ok, I just
added one more zero to the dividend and kept dividing
