Solve 189/60

$$\frac { 189 } { 60 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{63}{20}=3.15$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 189

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)189}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 60, use the next digit 8 from dividend 189 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)189}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 189

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)189}\\\end{array}$$

Since 18 is less than 60, use the next digit 9 from dividend 189 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)189}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 9 from dividend 189

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)189}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 189. We see that 3 \times 60 = 180 is the nearest. Now subtract 180 from 189 to get reminder 9. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}003\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)189}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}180\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)99}9\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 9. The topmost line 003 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }9$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 7}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 3\frac{3}{20} = 3.15$$
