How do you divide 2947 by 8? - Answers

8)2947 === To do this we say ' 8 into 29 goes 3 times(24) remainder '5'. So the first part of the answer is '3' Hence 8)2947 = 3 ... The remainder '5' is placed with the '4' to read '54' ( NOT 9). So 8 into 54 goes 6 times (48) remainderr '6' So the second part of ther answer is '6' Hence 8)2947 = 36.... Similarly the remainder '6' is placed with the '7' to read '67' (NOT 13) So 8 into 67 goes 8 times (64) remainderr '3' So the third part of ther answer is '8' Hence 8)2947 = 368 .... We now insert a decimal point and zeroes. Hence 8)2947.0000 = 368... Similarly the remainder '3' is placed with the '0' to read '30' (NOT 3) So 8 into 30 goes 3 times (24) remainderr '6' So the fourth part of ther answer is '3' Hence 8)2947.0000 = 368.3.... Similarly the remainder '6' is placed with the first '0' to read '60' (NOT 6) So 8 into 60 goes 7 times (56) remainderr '4' So the fifth part of ther answer is '7' Hence 8)2947.000 = 368.37.... Similarly the remainder '4' is placed with the second '0' to read '40' (NOT 4) So 8 into 40 goes 5 times (0) remainder. So the fifth part of ther answer is '5' Hence 8)2947.000 = 368.375 The Answer. Since there is no remainder, the division stops. Fractionally the answer would be ' 368 3/8'. NB It looks complex , but it is rather more repetative!!!!!
