Question

find 114 ÷ 2. what is the quotient? 114 ÷ 2 = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the tens place

We start by dividing the digit in the tens place (1) by 2. Since 1 is less than 2, we consider the first two digits (11). 11 divided by 2 is 5 (because \(2\times5 = 10\)) with a remainder of 1.

Step2: Bring down the ones digit

Bring down the 4 from the ones place to make the new dividend 14.

Step3: Divide the new dividend

Divide 14 by 2, which gives 7 (because \(2\times7 = 14\)) with no remainder.

Step4: Combine the results

The quotient from the tens place is 5 and from the ones place is 7, so combining them we get 57.

Answer:

\(114\div2 = \boxed{57}\)
