What is 211 divided by 8 and how do you work it out?

This is how you would solve this problem:Write the long division equation: 211/8Look at the first two numbers. Can 8 go into 2? No, it can't, so you put a zero (or nothing at all) above the two, and bring the 2 and the second number (1) down.Look at these two numbers. Can 8 go into 21? Yes, 8 can go into 21 two times.8x2=16. Now subtract 16 from 21 (5) and bring the 3rd number (1) down, so now you have 51.Now, go through the same process again, only this time with 51 as your dividend: 8 will go into 51 6 times (48), so do 51-48=3.We have a slight problem here that is easy to fix. We have a 3 leftover, but no more numbers in the equation to divide with to make the 3 dividable. In this situation, we would have to start using decimals. Put a decimal point after the 26 you already have in your answer, and put another one behind the 211 along with a 0, so you have a 26. and a 211.0 right now.Bring the zero from the 211 down with the leftover 3 so you now have a 30 you can use to divide with. Well, 8 can go into 30 3 times, so 8x3=24, 30-24=6. Your answer should have 26.3 right now, but we're not done yet!Add another 0 to use to the end of the 211 (so it should look like 211.00 right now), and drop it down so you have a 60. 8 goes into 60 7 times, so 8x7=56, 60-56=4.Add a third zero to your current dividend (211.000) and drop it down, so you have a 40. 8 goes into 40 5 times perfectly, so 8x5=40, 40-40=0. Your final answer should be 26.375.
