Solve 250/50

$$\frac { 250 } { 50 }$$

Evaluate

$$5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}\phantom{1}\\50\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 50, use the next digit 5 from dividend 250 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{2}\\50\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{3}\\50\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since 25 is less than 50, use the next digit 0 from dividend 250 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{4}\\50\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}00\phantom{5}\\50\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 50 to 250. We see that 5 \times 50 = 250 is the nearest. Now subtract 250 from 250 to get reminder 0. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}005\phantom{6}\\50\overline{)250}\\\phantom{50)}\underline{\phantom{}250\phantom{}}\\\phantom{50)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since 0 is less than 50, stop the division. The reminder is 0. The topmost line 005 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }0$$

Factor

$$5$$
