This is not homework i just don't know this. what is 22 dived 875 show your work?

Answer 1

22/875

set up the division thing you learnt in elementary school:
-----
22 / 875



Start multiplying. 22 times something must not be more than 1st 2 digits (87).
(sry about the dots. if i didn't put that yahoo assumes that the space before it is unwanted and moves everything back)

........3
.......-----
22 / 875
........66
........---
........21




Move the 5 down and multiply 22 times something again this time not to exceed 215

.........39
.......-----
22 / 875
.........-66
........----
........215
........198
....... ----
.........17




Now pull down a zero. The next digit on top is now a decimal point because the zero we pulled down is actually the zero from 875.0

.........39.7

22 / 875

If you continue to do this you will eventually get 39.77272727...
