Please enter numbers to calculate.
The answer to 118 divided by 2 is 59. This means if you split 118 into 2 equal parts, each part will be 59. Division is the process of distributing a number equally into smaller groups, and in this example, the number divides perfectly with no remainder.
Let’s explore different methods to solve this problem easily.
118 ÷ 2 Using Long Division
To solve 118 ÷ 2 using the long division method:
- Write 118 under the division bar and 2 outside it.
- See how many times 2 goes into 1.
- It doesn’t go into 1 (since 1 < 2), so move to the next digit.
- Consider the first two digits together: 11.
- 2 × 5 = 10 → write 5 above the bar.
- Subtract 10 from 11 → remainder 1.
- Bring down the last digit (8) → making 18.
- 2 × 9 = 18 exactly → write 9 above the bar.
- Subtract 18 → remainder 0.
- The quotient is 59, so 118 ÷ 2 = 59.
Using the Distributive Property
We can also solve this using the distributive property, which makes division easier by breaking the number into smaller, simple parts.
Formula:
(a+b)÷c=(a÷c)+(b÷c)
Break 118 into 100 and 18:
118÷2=(100÷2)+(18÷2)
Now divide each part:
100÷2=50, 18÷2=9
Add them together:
50+9=59
Thus, 118 ÷ 2 = 59, confirming our answer again.
