Solve 360/48

$$\frac { 360 } { 48 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{15}{2}=7.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 360

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}\phantom{1}\\48\overline{)360}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 48, use the next digit 6 from dividend 360 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{2}\\48\overline{)360}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 360

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}0\phantom{3}\\48\overline{)360}\\\end{array}$$

Since 36 is less than 48, use the next digit 0 from dividend 360 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{4}\\48\overline{)360}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 360

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}00\phantom{5}\\48\overline{)360}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 48 to 360. We see that 7 \times 48 = 336 is the nearest. Now subtract 336 from 360 to get reminder 24. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{48)}007\phantom{6}\\48\overline{)360}\\\phantom{48)}\underline{\phantom{}336\phantom{}}\\\phantom{48)9}24\\\end{array}$$

Since 24 is less than 48, stop the division. The reminder is 24. The topmost line 007 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 7.

$$\text{Quotient: }7 \text{Reminder: }24$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 5}{2} = 7\frac{1}{2} = 7.5$$
