Hi Eli,
Below is how you can see how to solve 148 divided by 28
-------
28 | 148
So here, we take the first value and test, does 1 divide by 28 with a whole number? No. So it would be updated to the below
0
-------
28 | 148
Now, we test 14, does 14 divide by 28 with a whole number? No. So it would be updated to the below
00
-------
28 | 148
Now, we test 148, does 148 divide by 28 with a whole number? Yes. So it would be updated below since we can divide by 5 (closest whole number value)
005
-------
28 | 148
Then, we take 5 * 28 = 140. So with detailed below, we would subtract 148 by 140
005
-------
28 | 148
- 140
Total: 8
So, since we have a remainder, we now test if we can divide 8 by 28 with a whole number. We can't, so since this is the last value we take the quotient; or fraction, which would be 8/28 or simplified as 2/7. So the final answer would be either
5 remainder of 8 OR 5 and 2/7
