Explain Bot To solve the division problem 37 divided by 8, follow these steps:
Step 1: Take the dividend, which is the number being divided, in this case, 37.
Step 2: Divide the dividend by the divisor, which is the number dividing the dividend, in this case, 8.
Step 3: Divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (8). Since 3 is less than 8, we add a decimal point and a zero after it. The result is 0.
Step 4: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (7).
Step 5: Divide the new dividend (37) by the divisor (8). The closest multiple of 8 to 37 is 32 (4 times 8). Subtracting 32 from 37 gives us 5.
Step 6: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0), so we have 50 as the new dividend.
Step 7: Divide the new dividend (50) by the divisor (8). The closest multiple of 8 to 50 is 48 (6 times 8). Subtracting 48 from 50 gives us 2.
Step 8: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0), so we have 20 as the new dividend.
Step 9: Divide the new dividend (20) by the divisor (8). The closest multiple of 8 to 20 is 16 (2 times 8). Subtracting 16 from 20 gives us 4.
Step 10: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (0), so we have 40 as the new dividend.
Step 11: Divide the new dividend (40) by the divisor (8). The closest multiple of 8 to 40 is 40 (5 times 8). Subtracting 40 from 40 gives us 0.
Step 12: Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we have obtained the quotient.
Step 13: The quotient of 37 divided by 8 is 4.625.
So, 37 divided by 8 equals 4.625.
