Answer :
To solve the long division problem
[tex]$$8 \longdiv{6288},$$[/tex]
follow these steps:
1. Look at the leftmost digit of the dividend, which is 6. Since 8 is greater than 6, we cannot divide 8 into 6. Therefore, we take the first two digits, forming 62.
2. Determine how many times 8 can go into 62. We calculate:
[tex]$$8 \times 7 = 56,$$[/tex]
and
[tex]$$8 \times 8 = 64.$$[/tex]
Since 64 is greater than 62, 8 goes into 62 seven times.
3. Thus, the first step is to divide 8 into 62 to get 7.
So, the answer to the first step is that 8 divides into 62 to yield 7.
