Step-by-step solution

7 steps

The problem is to divide 53.55 by 25.

  1. Divide the first part of the dividend (53) by the divisor (25).

    25 goes into 53 two times (2×25=502 \times 25 = 50). Write 2 above the 3 in 53.
    Subtract 50 from 53.

    225)53.55‾−503\begin{array}{r} 2 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.55} \\ -50 \\ \hline 3 \end{array}
  2. Bring down the next digit (5) and place the decimal point in the quotient.

    Now we have 35.

    2.25)53.55‾−50↓35\begin{array}{r} 2. \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.55} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \end{array}
  3. Divide 35 by 25.

    25 goes into 35 one time (1×25=251 \times 25 = 25). Write 1 after the decimal point in the quotient.
    Subtract 25 from 35.

    2.125)53.55‾−50↓35−2510\begin{array}{r} 2.1 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.55} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \\ -25 \\ \hline 10 \end{array}
  4. Bring down the next digit (5).

    Now we have 105.

    2.125)53.55‾−50↓35−25↓105\begin{array}{r} 2.1 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.55} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 105 \end{array}
  5. Divide 105 by 25.

    25 goes into 105 four times (4×25=1004 \times 25 = 100). Write 4 in the quotient.
    Subtract 100 from 105.

    2.1425)53.55‾−50↓35−25↓105−1005\begin{array}{r} 2.14 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.55} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 105 \\ -100 \\ \hline 5 \end{array}
  6. Add a zero to the dividend and bring it down.

    Now we have 50.

    2.1425)53.550‾−50↓35−25↓105−100↓50\begin{array}{r} 2.14 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.550} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 105 \\ -100 \downarrow \\ \hline 50 \end{array}
  7. Divide 50 by 25.

    25 goes into 50 two times (2×25=502 \times 25 = 50). Write 2 in the quotient.
    Subtract 50 from 50.

    2.14225)53.550‾−50↓35−25↓105−100↓50−500\begin{array}{r} 2.142 \\ 25 \overline{\smash{)} 53.550} \\ -50 \downarrow \\ \hline 35 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 105 \\ -100 \downarrow \\ \hline 50 \\ -50 \\ \hline 0 \end{array}

    The remainder is 0.

    The final answer is 2.142\text{2.142}.
