Answer for screen readers
$28 \frac{3}{7}$
Steps to Solve
- Set up the division problem
Start by setting up the division of 199 by 7:
$$ \frac{199}{7} $$
- Perform the division
Now, divide 199 by 7. You can perform long division or basic division:
7 fits into 19 two times (since $7 \times 2 = 14$).
- Calculate the remainder
Subtract 14 from 19:
$$ 19 - 14 = 5 $$
Now, bring down the next digit from 199, which is 9. You now have 59.
- Continue the division
Now, divide 59 by 7. It fits in eight times since $7 \times 8 = 56$.
- Calculate the final remainder
Subtract 56 from 59:
$$ 59 - 56 = 3 $$
So, the division of 199 by 7 can be expressed as:
$$ 199 = 28 \text{ (whole number)} + \frac{3}{7} \text{ (remainder)} $$
Thus, $199 \div 7$ gives:
$$ 28 \frac{3}{7} $$
$28 \frac{3}{7}$
