Question318÷7318 \div 7

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? How many times does 7 go into 318?
It's like splitting a group of **318** candies evenly among **7** friends! Watch out! Don't rush!
It's easy to misplace digits during long division, so take your time and double-check each step.

STEP 2

1. Set up the long division.
2. Divide the hundreds.
3. Divide the tens.
4. Divide the ones.

STEP 3

We're going to write our problem like this: 318÷7318 \div 7.
This is the same as 3187\frac{318}{7}.
We'll use long division to solve it!

STEP 4

How many times does 7 go into 3?
It doesn't!
So, we look at the first two digits: 31.
How many times does 7 go into **31**?
Let's see... 74=287 \cdot 4 = 28.
That's the closest we can get without going over.
So we write **4** above the 1 in 318.

STEP 5

Now, we multiply our **4** by **7** to get **28**, and write that below the **31**.
Then we subtract: 3128=331 - 28 = 3.

STEP 6

Bring down the next digit, which is **8**, next to our **3**.
Now we have **38**.

STEP 7

How many times does 7 go into **38**? 75=357 \cdot 5 = 35, and that's as close as we can get without going over.
Write the **5** above the 8 in 318.

STEP 8

Multiply our **5** by **7** to get **35**, and write it below the **38**.
Subtract: 3835=338 - 35 = 3.

STEP 9

We have **3** left over.
This is our remainder.
Since there are no more digits to bring down, we're done with the division.
We can write our answer as **45** with a remainder of **3**, or as 453745 \frac{3}{7}.

STEP 10

318÷7=45318 \div 7 = 45 with a remainder of 33, or 453745 \frac{3}{7}.
So, if we split 318 candies among 7 friends, each friend gets 45 candies, and there are 3 left over!
