What is 8 divided by 17

2.125

Answer: 2 remainder 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 8 on the left side and the dividend 17 on the right.

Step 2:

The divisor (8) goes into the first digit of the dividend (1), 0 time (s). Therefore, put 0 on top

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (8 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (1 - 0 = 1) and write the answer below.

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (7)

Step 6:

The divisor (8) goes into the bottom number (17), 2 time (s). Therefore, put 2 on top

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (8 x 2 = 16) and write that answer at the bottom.

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (17 - 16 = 1) and write the answer at the bottom.

Step 9:

You are done Now your final answer will be 2r 1 or 2 remainder 1.
