Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve

00:03 Let's start by dividing the leftmost digit by the divisor

00:08 Write the result above

00:12 Now multiply the result by the divisor

00:15 Subtract the product from the digit

00:20 Now bring down the next digit and use the same steps

00:24 Divide

00:33 Write the result above

00:37 Multiply the result, subtract

00:44 We got 0, meaning there's no remainder

00:47 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, let's carry out the division:

Step 1: Confirm the numbers involved. We are dividing 38 by 2, where 38 is the dividend and 2 is the divisor.
Step 2: Perform the division using long division or directly calculate $38 \div 2$ .
Step 3: Start dividing: 2 goes into 3 one time (since 2 fits into 3 once), leaving a remainder of 1.
Step 4: Bring down the next digit from the dividend. The sequence now is: how many times does 2 go into 18?
Step 5: 2 fits into 18 nine times exactly without any remainder.

Thus, $38 \div 2 = 19$ .

Therefore, the solution to this problem is $19$ .
