How do you divide 243 by 5?

To divide 243 by 5, you can perform long division. First, see how many times 5 goes into 24, which is 4 times (since 5 x 4 = 20). Subtract 20 from 24 to get 4, bring down the next digit (3) to make 43. Then, 5 goes into 43 eight times (5 x 8 = 40), leaving a remainder of 3. Thus, 243 divided by 5 equals 48 with a remainder of 3, or 48.6 when expressed as a decimal.
