Solve 120/16

$$\frac{ 120 }{ 16 }$$

Evaluate

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

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}\phantom{1}\\16\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 16, use the next digit 2 from dividend 120 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{2}\\16\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}0\phantom{3}\\16\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 16, use the next digit 0 from dividend 120 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}00\phantom{4}\\16\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}00\phantom{5}\\16\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 16 to 120. We see that 7 \times 16 = 112 is the nearest. Now subtract 112 from 120 to get reminder 8. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{16)}007\phantom{6}\\16\overline{)120}\\\phantom{16)}\underline{\phantom{}112\phantom{}}\\\phantom{16)99}8\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 16, stop the division. The reminder is 8. The topmost line 007 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 7.

$$\text{Quotient: }7 \text{Reminder: }8$$

Factor

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