What is 8 divided by 91.7 using long division?

The quotient begins 0.087241 and it keeps going.
It doesn't matter how you do it. You get the same answer every time, if you do it correctly.
If you do it two different ways and get two different answers, then at least one of the answers is definitely wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that they both are.

To divide 8 by 91.7 using long division, first adjust the divisor to a whole number by multiplying by 10, which modifies the dividend similarly. The long division process involves repeated approximate subtraction and brings down zeros as needed to find the answer, ending with approximately 0.087241. This method illustrates how to handle decimals in division.
