Division 13 2 By 66
1. The problem is to divide 13.2 by 66 using the division algorithm.
2. The division algorithm states that for two numbers $a$ and $b$ (with $b \neq 0$), dividing $a$ by $b$ gives a quotient $q$ and a remainder $r$ such that:
$$a = bq + r$$
where $0 \leq r < |b|$.
3. Here, $a = 13.2$ and $b = 66$. Since 13.2 is less than 66, the quotient will be less than 1.
4. To perform the division, we can write it as:
$$13.2 \div 66 = ?$$
5. Convert 13.2 to 132 by multiplying numerator and denominator by 10 to avoid decimals:
$$\frac{13.2}{66} = \frac{132}{660}$$
6. Simplify the fraction $\frac{132}{660}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 132 and 660 is 12.
7. Divide numerator and denominator by 12:
$$\frac{132 \div 12}{660 \div 12} = \frac{11}{55}$$
8. Simplify $\frac{11}{55}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by 11:
$$\frac{11 \div 11}{55 \div 11} = \frac{1}{5}$$
9. Therefore:
$$13.2 \div 66 = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2$$
10. So the quotient is $0.2$ and the remainder is $0$ because $66 \times 0.2 = 13.2$ exactly.
Final answer: $$0.2$$
