|2. \( 453 \div 8= \)

To tackle \( 453 \div 8 \), first realize that 8 fits into 45 five times (since \( 8 \times 5 = 40 \)). Subtracting gives you 5, then bring down that 3 making it 53. Now, 8 goes into 53 six times (because \( 8 \times 6 = 48 \)). Subtract 48 from 53 to get 5, and that leaves you with a remainder of 5. Thus, \( 453 \div 8 \) equals 56 with a remainder of 5 or simply \( 56.625 \) when converted to decimal. This division comes in handy in many scenarios, like cooking or budgeting! Imagine you have 453 cookies and you want to share them equally among 8 friends. You would know each friend gets 56 cookies, and you’d have 5 cookies left for a treat later. Sharing is caring, right?
