Answer for screen readers
The final answer for the division of 128 by 9 is:
$$ 14 \frac{2}{9} \text{ or } 14.222 $$
Steps to Solve
-
Set up the division problem
We want to find the result of dividing 128 by 9. This can be written as:
$$ \frac{128}{9} $$ -
Perform the division
To carry out the division manually, we can determine how many times 9 fits into 128.
Since $9 \times 14 = 126$ and $9 \times 15 = 135$, we find that 9 fits into 128 a total of 14 times with some remainder. -
Calculate the remainder
Now, subtract $126$ (which is $9 \times 14$) from $128$:
$$ 128 - 126 = 2 $$
So, the remainder is 2. -
Express the answer
We can express our answer as a mixed number or as a decimal. As a mixed number, we get:
$$ 14 \frac{2}{9} $$
As a decimal, we can divide the remainder as follows:
$$ 2 \div 9 \approx 0.222 $$
Thus, $128 \div 9 \approx 14.222$.
The final answer for the division of 128 by 9 is:
$$ 14 \frac{2}{9} \text{ or } 14.222 $$
More Information
When dividing whole numbers, it's common to encounter a remainder. In this case, the remainder indicates that 128 is not perfectly divisible by 9. The approximate decimal indicates how much more is needed to reach the next whole multiple of 9.
Tips
- Not considering the remainder can lead to an incomplete answer. Ensure you clearly state the remainder when dividing.
- Confusing mixed number format with improper fraction format. Use mixed numbers for clearer representation when there's a remainder.
