Steps to Solve

  1. Set up the division Identify the numbers to divide. Here, we are dividing 153 by 4.

  2. Perform the division Divide 153 by 4.

    Using long division:

    • 4 goes into 15 three times (since $4 \times 3 = 12$).
    • Subtract 12 from 15 to get a remainder of 3.
    • Bring down the next digit (3), making it 33.
    • 4 goes into 33 eight times (since $4 \times 8 = 32$).
    • Subtract 32 from 33 to get a remainder of 1.

    So we can say: $$ 153 \div 4 = 38 \text{ R } 1 $$

  3. Express the result The result can also be expressed as: $$ 38 + \frac{1}{4} = 38.25 $$

The final answer is $38.25$.
