Solve 300/180

$$\frac{ 300 }{ 180 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{3}\approx 1.666666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}\phantom{1}\\180\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 180, use the next digit 0 from dividend 300 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}0\phantom{2}\\180\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}0\phantom{3}\\180\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Since 30 is less than 180, use the next digit 0 from dividend 300 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}00\phantom{4}\\180\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}00\phantom{5}\\180\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 180 to 300. We see that 1 \times 180 = 180 is the nearest. Now subtract 180 from 300 to get reminder 120. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{180)}001\phantom{6}\\180\overline{)300}\\\phantom{180)}\underline{\phantom{}180\phantom{}}\\\phantom{180)}120\\\end{array}$$

Since 120 is less than 180, stop the division. The reminder is 120. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }120$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3} = 1.6666666666666667$$
