how many times is 277 in 2394?
the answer is 8 times.
write 8 in front of x/277
now multiply 8*277=2216
x=2394-2216=178
so, 2394:277 <=> 8(178/277)
Do 2394÷277, then the put whatever's left over 277.
BTW, a mixed number is something like 10 and 1/10
2394/277=8.64259928 . I would round to the nearest hunderdth, making it 8 and 64/100ths, or 8 and 16/25ths. If you can't round, it would just be 8 and 8032491/12500000ths.
To do this you take the whole number off and convert the decimals to fractions.
Don't use a calculator, do the long division on paper.
