This is doesn't seem like a math problem

No wait, he’s such a genius, he see’s math problems that aren’t even there!

what's the percentage of 3/8 with long divison

[stark cradle]

Are you comfortable with long division already?

[spare valley]

yes

[stark cradle]

Alright! So do me a favor and give it a try

If you get a decimal, let me know and I’ll explain what to do next

bruh

0.375x100 = 37.5 but i want to know long divison steps

[stark cradle]

Okay, I'll show them too you

So we start by setting up our long division

Things get kind of weird here, since we can't take away 8 from 3 without taking too much

We have to make the 3 turn into a thirty

We can do this just by writing a zero, but at a cost! We must also put a point between the three and the zero

Now we can take away 8 from 30!

Now, we can only take it away three times

If we tried to take it away 4 times we would be doing 30 - 4*8

Which is 30 - 32

So that's a problem

The is the highest number we can do, so that is what is shall be

Now, we have a that problem again we had with the three, since 6 is too small for 8

So we must pull another zero!

Alright, so we can work with 60

The most number of 8s we can take away is 7, since 8*8 is 64 and that's too big

So we take away 56 (7*8)

Alright, now we have the same issue with the 4, but that's no trouble, we'll just get another zero

We are almost done, since 40 is a perfect multiple of 8!!!!

Actually, 5 * 8 = 40

And so, we choose that to finish our long division

Since we have zero, we are finally done!

thank u

[stark cradle]

Of course!
