234:5

Task: 234 ÷ 5

Since the subject is English for a 5th grader and the goal is to understand, here is a clear, step-by-step explanation in simple English.

Step-by-step division

1. How many times does 5 go into 23?

• 5 × 4 = 20, 5 × 5 = 25 (too big), so it goes in 4 times.
• Write 4 on the top. 23 − 20 = 3.
• Bring down the next digit 4 to make 34.

2. How many times does 5 go into 34?

• 5 × 6 = 30, 5 × 7 = 35 (too big), so it goes in 6 times.
• Write 6 next to the 4 on the top. 34 − 30 = 4.
• There are no more digits left in the dividend.

Quotient and remainder

• The quotient is 46 and the remainder is 4.
• Check: 46 × 5 = 230, and 234 − 230 = 4. Correct.

Decimal form

• To get a decimal, bring down a zero (since there are no digits left, we add a decimal part): 40 ÷ 5 = 8.
• So 234 ÷ 5 = 46.8 exactly.

Other ways to express the result

• Decimal form: 46.8
• Mixed number: 46 and 4/5
• Integer division with remainder: 46 with remainder 4

Final answers

• 234 ÷ 5 = 46.8
• 234 ÷ 5 = 46 R 4
• 234 ÷ 5 = 46 4/5
