Solve 200/80

$$\frac { 200 } { 80 }$$

Evaluate

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

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}\phantom{1}\\80\overline{)200}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 80, use the next digit 0 from dividend 200 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{2}\\80\overline{)200}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{3}\\80\overline{)200}\\\end{array}$$

Since 20 is less than 80, use the next digit 0 from dividend 200 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{4}\\80\overline{)200}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{5}\\80\overline{)200}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 80 to 200. We see that 2 \times 80 = 160 is the nearest. Now subtract 160 from 200 to get reminder 40. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}002\phantom{6}\\80\overline{)200}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}160\phantom{}}\\\phantom{80)9}40\\\end{array}$$

Since 40 is less than 80, stop the division. The reminder is 40. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }40$$

Factor

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