Solve 225/60

$$\frac { 225 } { 60 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{15}{4}=3.75$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 225

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)225}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 60, use the next digit 2 from dividend 225 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)225}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 225

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)225}\\\end{array}$$

Since 22 is less than 60, use the next digit 5 from dividend 225 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)225}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 225

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)225}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 225. We see that 3 \times 60 = 180 is the nearest. Now subtract 180 from 225 to get reminder 45. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}003\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)225}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}180\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)9}45\\\end{array}$$

Since 45 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 45. The topmost line 003 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 3.

$$\text{Quotient: }3 \text{Reminder: }45$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 5}{2 ^ {2}} = 3\frac{3}{4} = 3.75$$
