Final answer:
To find the quotient of 2363 divided by 139, perform long division steps and you'll find that 139 fits into 2363 a total of 17 times with no remainder.
Explanation:
Long division is a method of dividing two numbers by repeatedly subtracting multiples of the divisor from the dividend. It involves writing the dividend, divisor, quotient, and remainder in a specific layout, then performing the division digit by digit until the dividend is fully divided or a desired level of precision is reached.
To determine the quotient of 2363 divided by 139 using long division, we will divide 2363 by 139 in a step-by-step process:
- First, we see that 139 does not fit into 2 or 23, but it fits into 236 once. So we place a 1 above the third digit of the dividend.
- We then multiply 1 by 139 and write 139 below the 236.
- Subtracting 139 from 236, we get 97.
- We drop down the next digit of the dividend which is 3, making it 973.
- 139 goes into 973 six times. We write a 6 above the last digit of the dividend.
- Multiplying 139 by 6, we get 834, which we subtract from 973 to get a remainder of 139.
- Since 139 is the divisor and the remainder is equal to the divisor, it means the division process is completed with an additional count so we add 1 to the quotient.
The quotient of 2363 divided by 139 is thus 17 with a remainder of 0.
