Solve 453/261

$$\frac { 453 } { 261 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{151}{87}\approx 1.735632184$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 453

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}\phantom{1}\\261\overline{)453}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 261, use the next digit 5 from dividend 453 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}0\phantom{2}\\261\overline{)453}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 453

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}0\phantom{3}\\261\overline{)453}\\\end{array}$$

Since 45 is less than 261, use the next digit 3 from dividend 453 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}00\phantom{4}\\261\overline{)453}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 3 from dividend 453

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}00\phantom{5}\\261\overline{)453}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 261 to 453. We see that 1 \times 261 = 261 is the nearest. Now subtract 261 from 453 to get reminder 192. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{261)}001\phantom{6}\\261\overline{)453}\\\phantom{261)}\underline{\phantom{}261\phantom{}}\\\phantom{261)}192\\\end{array}$$

Since 192 is less than 261, stop the division. The reminder is 192. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }192$$

Factor

$$\frac{151}{3 \cdot 29} = 1\frac{64}{87} = 1.735632183908046$$
