How to divide 52.056 by 7.23 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer: 52.056 ÷ 7.23 = 7 remainder 1446
52.056 ÷ 7.23 = 7 remainder 1446

Converting Decimals to Integers

First, we convert the numbers to integers by multiplying both dividend and divisor by 1000:

52.056 × 1000 = 52056(dividend)
7.23 × 1000 = 7230(divisor)

Now we can perform long division with these whole numbers:

About Long Division

Long division is a method for dividing large numbers that breaks down the division process into smaller, manageable steps. It's taught in elementary school as a systematic way to perform division by hand.

The process involves:

  • Dividing the leftmost digits of the dividend by the divisor
  • Writing the quotient digit above the dividend
  • Multiplying the quotient digit by the divisor
  • Subtracting this product from the current dividend portion
  • Bringing down the next digit and repeating the process

This method ensures accuracy and helps students understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
