Solve 150/60

$$\frac { 150 } { 60 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 150

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)150}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 60, use the next digit 5 from dividend 150 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)150}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 150

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)150}\\\end{array}$$

Since 15 is less than 60, use the next digit 0 from dividend 150 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)150}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 150

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)150}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 150. We see that 2 \times 60 = 120 is the nearest. Now subtract 120 from 150 to get reminder 30. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}002\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)150}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)9}30\\\end{array}$$

Since 30 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 30. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }30$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
