\frac{100m^{2}-3m}{3m}=0
Since \frac{100m^{2}}{3m} and \frac{3m}{3m} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
100m^{2}-3m=0
Variable m cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3m.
m=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±\sqrt{\left(-3\right)^{2}}}{2\times 100}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 100 for a, -3 for b, and 0 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
m=\frac{-\left(-3\right)±3}{2\times 100}
Take the square root of \left(-3\right)^{2}.
m=\frac{3±3}{2\times 100}
The opposite of -3 is 3.
m=\frac{3±3}{200}
Multiply 2 times 100.
m=\frac{6}{200}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{3±3}{200} when ± is plus. Add 3 to 3.
m=\frac{3}{100}
Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{200} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
m=\frac{0}{200}
Now solve the equation m=\frac{3±3}{200} when ± is minus. Subtract 3 from 3.
m=0
Divide 0 by 200.
m=\frac{3}{100} m=0
The equation is now solved.
m=\frac{3}{100}
Variable m cannot be equal to 0.

\frac{100m^{2}}{3m}=1
Cancel out 36 in both numerator and denominator.
100m^{2}=3m
Variable m cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3m.
100m^{2}-3m=0
Subtract 3m from both sides.
\frac{100m^{2}-3m}{100}=\frac{0}{100}
Divide both sides by 100.
m^{2}-\frac{3}{100}m=\frac{0}{100}
Dividing by 100 undoes the multiplication by 100.
m^{2}-\frac{3}{100}m=0
Divide 0 by 100.
m^{2}-\frac{3}{100}m+\left(-\frac{3}{200}\right)^{2}=\left(-\frac{3}{200}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{3}{100}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{3}{200}. Then add the square of -\frac{3}{200} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
m^{2}-\frac{3}{100}m+\frac{9}{40000}=\frac{9}{40000}
Square -\frac{3}{200} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
\left(m-\frac{3}{200}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{40000}
Factor m^{2}-\frac{3}{100}m+\frac{9}{40000}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(m-\frac{3}{200}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{40000}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
m-\frac{3}{200}=\frac{3}{200} m-\frac{3}{200}=-\frac{3}{200}
Simplify.
m=\frac{3}{100} m=0
Add \frac{3}{200} to both sides of the equation.
m=\frac{3}{100}
Variable m cannot be equal to 0.
