Question

Divide the following

$883.26\text{by}42$

Answer 1

Solve the division :

We know that $\mathrm{a}÷\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{a}\times \frac{1}{\mathrm{b}}$, where$\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{b}$ are integers.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{So},883.26÷42 \\ =\frac{88326}{100}÷42 \\ =\frac{88326}{100}\times \frac{1}{42} \\ =\frac{42\times 2103}{100}\times \frac{1}{42} \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} =\frac{2103}{100} \\ =21.03 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the required answer is $21.03$.
