Question

Divide the following:

$286÷2$

Answer 1

Let us divide $286$ by $2$

Step 1 : Divide $2$ hundreds by $2$ i.e, $2÷2=1$

Write $1$ in the hundreds place of the quotient and write product $2$, below the dividend in the hundreds place. $2-2=0$

Step 2 : Bring down $8$

$8÷2=4$

Write $4$ in the tens place of the quotient and write product $8$, below the dividend in the tens place. $8-8=0$

Step 3 : Bring down $6$

$6÷2=3$

Write $3$ in the ones place of the quotient and write $6$ below the dividend in ones place. $6-6=0$

$$\begin{gathered} \text{H T O} \\ 143 \\ 2⟌286 \\ -2\downarrow \downarrow \\ 08\downarrow \\ -8\downarrow \\ 0\downarrow \\ 6 \\ -6 \\ 0 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required quotient is $143$ and remainder is $0$
