46/53
To solve the division problem 46/53, you need to divide the numerator (46) by the denominator (53)
To solve the division problem 46/53, you need to divide the numerator (46) by the denominator (53).
Start by setting up the division problem:
46
——
53
To divide, ask yourself how many times does 53 go into 46? Since 53 is greater than 46, it doesn’t go in evenly.
To begin the long division process, look at the first digit of the numerator (4) and see how many times it can be divided by the first digit of the denominator (5). The largest number that goes into 4 is 0, so write a 0 on top and multiply it by the denominator (53):
0
——
53
Now subtract the product from the numerator (46 – 0 = 46):
46
——
53
Bring down the next digit of the numerator (6) to create a new dividend:
46
——
53 [6]
Now consider how many times the new dividend (46) can be divided by the denominator (53). Again, the largest number that goes into 46 is 0, so write a 0 on top and multiply it by the denominator (53):
0
——
53
– 0
Subtract the product from the new dividend (46 – 0 = 46):
46
——
53 [6]
– 0
Since there are no more digits in the numerator, you have reached the end of the division process. The final answer is 0 remainder 46.
Therefore, 46 divided by 53 equals 0 with a remainder of 46. You can also express this as a mixed number: 0 46/53.
