Solve 180/75

$$\frac{ 180 }{ 75 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{5}=2.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 180

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}\phantom{1}\\75\overline{)180}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 75, use the next digit 8 from dividend 180 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}0\phantom{2}\\75\overline{)180}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 180

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}0\phantom{3}\\75\overline{)180}\\\end{array}$$

Since 18 is less than 75, use the next digit 0 from dividend 180 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}00\phantom{4}\\75\overline{)180}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 180

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}00\phantom{5}\\75\overline{)180}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 75 to 180. We see that 2 \times 75 = 150 is the nearest. Now subtract 150 from 180 to get reminder 30. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{75)}002\phantom{6}\\75\overline{)180}\\\phantom{75)}\underline{\phantom{}150\phantom{}}\\\phantom{75)9}30\\\end{array}$$

Since 30 is less than 75, stop the division. The reminder is 30. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }30$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{5} = 2\frac{2}{5} = 2.4$$
