Solve 250/20

$$\frac{ 250 }{ 20 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{2}=12.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 20, use the next digit 5 from dividend 250 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)250}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 20 to 25. We see that 1 \times 20 = 20 is the nearest. Now subtract 20 from 25 to get reminder 5. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}01\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)250}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}20\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)9}5\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}01\phantom{5}\\20\overline{)250}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}20\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 20 to 50. We see that 2 \times 20 = 40 is the nearest. Now subtract 40 from 50 to get reminder 10. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}012\phantom{6}\\20\overline{)250}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}20\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{20)9}50\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{9}40\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)9}10\\\end{array}$$

Since 10 is less than 20, stop the division. The reminder is 10. The topmost line 012 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 12.

$$\text{Quotient: }12 \text{Reminder: }10$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{2} = 12\frac{1}{2} = 12.5$$
