Answer for screen readers
The result of dividing 179 by 4 is $44.75$.
Steps to Solve
- Set Up the Division
We need to divide 179 by 4. This can be set up as follows:
$$ \frac{179}{4} $$
- Perform the Division
Start dividing 179 by 4.
4 goes into 17 (the first two digits of 179) how many times? 4 goes into 17 a total of 4 times, since $4 \times 4 = 16$.
- Subtract and Carry Down
Subtract 16 from 17:
$$ 17 - 16 = 1 $$
Now, bring down the next digit (9) to make it 19.
- Continue Division
Next, divide 19 by 4. 4 goes into 19 a total of 4 times again, since $4 \times 4 = 16$.
- Final Subtraction
Subtract 16 from 19:
$$ 19 - 16 = 3 $$
Since there are no more digits to bring down, we conclude here.
- Express the Result
The result of the division can be expressed as:
$$ 179 \div 4 = 44 \text{ R } 3 $$
This means 44 with a remainder of 3, or as a decimal:
$$ 44.75 $$
The result of dividing 179 by 4 is $44.75$.
More Information
When dividing numbers, it's common to express the result as a mixed number or a decimal. In this case, the quotient of 44 and a remainder of 3 can be written as a decimal by converting the remainder into a fraction of the divisor, giving us $0.75$, resulting in $44.75$.
Tips
- Confusing Remainders with Decimals: Make sure to convert the remainder into a decimal properly, as $3/4 = 0.75$.
- Forgetting to Bring Down Digits: Always check to ensure you're bringing down any remaining digits after the leading digits have been processed.
