1. **State the problem:** We need to divide 2.47 by 19. 2. **Recall the division formula:** Division is the process of finding how many times the divisor fits into the dividend. Here, the dividend is 2.47 and the divisor is 19. 3. **Set up the division:** Write it as $\frac{2.47}{19}$. 4. **Perform the division:** - Since 2.47 is less than 19, the quotient will be less than 1. - Convert 2.47 to 247 by moving the decimal two places to the right, and do the same for the divisor (multiply by 100), so it becomes $\frac{247}{1900}$. 5. **Divide 247 by 1900:** - 1900 goes into 247 zero times, so we add a decimal point and zeros to 247 to continue. - 1900 into 2470 goes 1 time (1 x 1900 = 1900), remainder 570. - Bring down a zero: 5700. - 1900 into 5700 goes 3 times (3 x 1900 = 5700), remainder 0. 6. **Combine the results:** The quotient is 0.13. **Final answer:** $$\frac{2.47}{19} = 0.13$$
