Solve 276/115

$$\frac { 276 } { 115 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{5}=2.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 276

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}\phantom{1}\\115\overline{)276}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 115, use the next digit 7 from dividend 276 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}0\phantom{2}\\115\overline{)276}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 276

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}0\phantom{3}\\115\overline{)276}\\\end{array}$$

Since 27 is less than 115, use the next digit 6 from dividend 276 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}00\phantom{4}\\115\overline{)276}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 276

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}00\phantom{5}\\115\overline{)276}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 115 to 276. We see that 2 \times 115 = 230 is the nearest. Now subtract 230 from 276 to get reminder 46. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{115)}002\phantom{6}\\115\overline{)276}\\\phantom{115)}\underline{\phantom{}230\phantom{}}\\\phantom{115)9}46\\\end{array}$$

Since 46 is less than 115, stop the division. The reminder is 46. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }46$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{5} = 2\frac{2}{5} = 2.4$$
