Question

Divide $865.2$ by $2000$ ?

Answer 1

Step 1: Write the given division expression in the standard form.

$20000865.2$
Step 2: Now, we have to divide the decimal number’s whole number part by the divisor.

$20000865.20865$
Step 3: Place the decimal point in the quotient above the dividend’s decimal point and then bring down the tenths’ digit and hundredth digit.Here tenth digit is $2$ and hundredth is $0$.

$20000.865.208652$
Step 4: If the tenth digit of the obtained dividend cannot be divided by the divisor, write 0 in the quotient and in front of the tenths’ digit. Otherwise, proceed with the division process.Repeat the above step and keep adding the zeroes in the dividend until 0 is obtained in the remainder.

$20000.04326865.2000086528000652060005200400012000120000$
Therefore,by dividing $865.2$ by $2000$ we get $0.04326$ .That means, the quotient is $0.04326$ and the remainder is $0$
