Long Division – Quotient Contains a Zero

Explanation

\[ \begin{array}{r} 8 \enspace 0 \enspace 5 \\ \hline 57 \big) 4 \enspace 5 \enspace 8 \enspace 8 \enspace 5 \\ \underline{-4 \enspace 5 \enspace 6} \phantom{\enspace 0 \enspace 0} \\ 2 \enspace 8 \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ \underline{-\enspace 0 \phantom{\enspace 0}} \phantom{\enspace 0} \\ 2 \enspace 8 \enspace 5 \\ \underline{-2 \enspace 8 \enspace 5} \\ 0 \\ \end{array} \]

\(45{,}885 \div 57 = 805\). A 0 appears in the tens column of the quotient because 57 does not divide into the partial dividend at that step. Check: \(805 \times 57 = 45{,}885\) ✓
