Solve 124/100

$$\frac { 124 } { 100 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{25}=1.24$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 124

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)124}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 100, use the next digit 2 from dividend 124 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)124}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 124

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)124}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 100, use the next digit 4 from dividend 124 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)124}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 4 from dividend 124

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)124}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 124. We see that 1 \times 100 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 124 to get reminder 24. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}001\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)124}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}24\\\end{array}$$

Since 24 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 24. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }24$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{5 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{6}{25} = 1.24$$
