Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to solve this equation, we will follow the same series of steps:
D - Divide
M - Multiply
S - Subtract
B - Bring Down
Step 1: In long division, we must divide by a whole number. This means we must move the decimal place in our divisor (1.9) one space to the right to make 19.
Whatever we do to the divisor to make it a whole number, we must also do to the dividend, so we move the decimal in 13.11 one space to the right which gives us 131.1.
13.11 ÷ 1.9 → 131.1 ÷ 19
Step 2: Set up long division.

Put the 6 over the ones place of the number that was just divided (the 1 of the 131). Multiply the 6 by the divisor (19) and write the answer (114) directly underneath the number you divided (131). Subtract 131 - 114 and write the answer underneath the 114.

Multiply the 9 by the divisor (19) and write the answer (171) directly underneath the number you divided (1171). Subtract 131 - 114 and write the answer (0) underneath the 171. This zero at the bottom at the end of the problem signals that you have your final answer.
