Solve 259/250

$$\frac{ 259 }{ 250 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{259}{250}=1.036$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}\phantom{1}\\250\overline{)259}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 250, use the next digit 5 from dividend 259 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}0\phantom{2}\\250\overline{)259}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}0\phantom{3}\\250\overline{)259}\\\end{array}$$

Since 25 is less than 250, use the next digit 9 from dividend 259 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}00\phantom{4}\\250\overline{)259}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 9 from dividend 259

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}00\phantom{5}\\250\overline{)259}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 250 to 259. We see that 1 \times 250 = 250 is the nearest. Now subtract 250 from 259 to get reminder 9. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{250)}001\phantom{6}\\250\overline{)259}\\\phantom{250)}\underline{\phantom{}250\phantom{}}\\\phantom{250)99}9\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 250, stop the division. The reminder is 9. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }9$$

Factor

$$\frac{7 \cdot 37}{2 \cdot 5 ^ {3}} = 1\frac{9}{250} = 1.036$$
