long division?

Question

what do you do about the remainder?

Answer 1

I would just throw it away, i hate maths questions!!!!!!!

Answer 2

It depends on your math level. I remember in the early years before learning about decimals and fractions that you would put r then the number that remains. IE r 3. Once you get into higher math where you learn about fractions and decimals you can then put the remainder into a fraction or decimal. Some numbers will result in a repeating decimal like 1/3 which is .33333333333 forever. You show this by putting a bar over the repeating number after the decimal point. You will also learn about significant figures which comes in a higher math level and is more relevant to scientific math. This determines how many places you need to show a number for after the decimal point, so you would only go to that number. Otherwise as stated above you divide until you have no remainder.
If you are still lost and are in school ask your teacher or professor for help. They should be more then willing to help you. If not then hope you can find the help you looking for on here.

Answer 3

the remainder can be part of the answer, if that is required.

Or, you add the next number of the end of the remainder and divide again.

If there are no numbers left you add a 0 (zero)

for example

divide 10 by 4

becomes 2 remainder 2

or

2.5
10.00000
----
8
----
20
20
0

and the answer is now 2.5

Answer 4

You can't keep dividing until you get to zero! E.g.
7/3 = 2.33333... OR 2 remainder 1 OR 2 1/3 (i.e. 2 and a third)

That's what you do with the remainder.

Answer 5

You place a decimal point in the answer then add a zero to the remainder and keep on dividing.

Answer 6

at the end, but the remainder as

R y

where as y is the remainder

to graph it, but it as (y/(denominator))

for ex : if you have something like (x^2 - 4x + 6)/(x - 3)

this would be

3 | 1 -4 | 6
| 3 | -3
-----------------
| 1 -1 | 3

ANS : x - 1 R 3, or x - 1 + (3/(x - 3))

Answer 7

The same thing you would do in any other division - either leave it as a fraction, or convert it to a decimal.

Answer 8

1.)Add it to the quotient but as a fraction or decimal...The denominator is the divisor.
2.)Just leave it there!!!

Answer 9

add decimal digits until it stops but if it is infinite, round off to the tenths digit

Answer 10

You keep dividing until you get to zero!
