When you divide 8 by 3, you are essentially asking how many times 3 can fit into 8. The result of this division is 2 with a remainder.
If we do the math, 3 goes into 8 a total of 2 times, which equals 6. If we subtract 6 from 8, we have 2 left over. Therefore, we can express the result as:
- Quotient: 2
- Remainder: 2
So, 8 divided by 3 can also be written as 2 R2. If you prefer decimal form, you can continue the division to get:
8 รท 3 = 2.66 (with the decimal continuing indefinitely).
In conclusion, 8 divided by 3 is approximately 2.67 when rounded to two decimal places.
