Solve 250/100

$$\frac{ 250 }{ 100 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 250 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since 25 is less than 100, use the next digit 0 from dividend 250 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 250

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 250. We see that 2 \times 100 = 200 is the nearest. Now subtract 200 from 250 to get reminder 50. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}002\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)250}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}200\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 50. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }50$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
