Solve 600/80

$$\frac { 600 } { 80 }$$

Evaluate

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

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}\phantom{1}\\80\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 80, use the next digit 0 from dividend 600 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{2}\\80\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{3}\\80\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Since 60 is less than 80, use the next digit 0 from dividend 600 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{4}\\80\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{5}\\80\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 80 to 600. We see that 7 \times 80 = 560 is the nearest. Now subtract 560 from 600 to get reminder 40. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}007\phantom{6}\\80\overline{)600}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}560\phantom{}}\\\phantom{80)9}40\\\end{array}$$

Since 40 is less than 80, stop the division. The reminder is 40. The topmost line 007 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 7.

$$\text{Quotient: }7 \text{Reminder: }40$$

Factor

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