Solve 285/25

$$\frac { 285 } { 25 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{57}{5}=11.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 285

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}\phantom{1}\\25\overline{)285}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 25, use the next digit 8 from dividend 285 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}0\phantom{2}\\25\overline{)285}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 285

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}0\phantom{3}\\25\overline{)285}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 25 to 28. We see that 1 \times 25 = 25 is the nearest. Now subtract 25 from 28 to get reminder 3. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}01\phantom{4}\\25\overline{)285}\\\phantom{25)}\underline{\phantom{}25\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{25)9}3\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 285

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}01\phantom{5}\\25\overline{)285}\\\phantom{25)}\underline{\phantom{}25\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{25)9}35\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 25 to 35. We see that 1 \times 25 = 25 is the nearest. Now subtract 25 from 35 to get reminder 10. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{25)}011\phantom{6}\\25\overline{)285}\\\phantom{25)}\underline{\phantom{}25\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{25)9}35\\\phantom{25)}\underline{\phantom{9}25\phantom{}}\\\phantom{25)9}10\\\end{array}$$

Since 10 is less than 25, stop the division. The reminder is 10. The topmost line 011 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 11.

$$\text{Quotient: }11 \text{Reminder: }10$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 19}{5} = 11\frac{2}{5} = 11.4$$
