How do you divide 2 into 102? - Answers

First write down the problem neatly using the below format: 102 / 2 = ____ the ____ is where you are going to write the result Now copy dovn the first digit from the left end of the numerator (102) 102 / 2 = ____ 1 Is this number smaller than the divisor (2) yes it is, so we pull down the second digit 102 / 2 = ____ 10 Ten is bigger than 2 so now you divide 2 into 10 2 goes into 10 five times so write 5 as the first digit of the result 102 / 2 = 5___ 10 now multiply the resultdigit by the divisor and write the resulting number under the 10. then subtract that number from 10 102 / 2 = 5___ 10 10 0 pull down the next digit to stand behind the 0 102 / 2 = 5___ 10 10 02 this number is not smaller than the divisor so we divide it by 2 and write the result of dividing as the second digit of the result 102 / 2 = 51__ 10 10 02 again multiply the resultdigit by the divisor and write the resulting number under the 02. then subtract that number from 02 102 /2 = 51__ 10 10 02 2 0 there are no more digits to pull down, so you have finished dividing 102 by 2. The result is 51. This is called long division regards JakobA
