Solution:

The given numerical statement can be written as,

 208/7

In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 208, and it is divided by 7 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.

=  208/7

= 29.7

Final answer:

= 29.7
