Solve 36/30

$$\frac{ 36 }{ 30 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{6}{5}=1.2$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 36

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}\phantom{1}\\30\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 30, use the next digit 6 from dividend 36 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}0\phantom{2}\\30\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 36

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}0\phantom{3}\\30\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 30 to 36. We see that 1 \times 30 = 30 is the nearest. Now subtract 30 from 36 to get reminder 6. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}01\phantom{4}\\30\overline{)36}\\\phantom{30)}\underline{\phantom{}30\phantom{}}\\\phantom{30)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 30, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3}{5} = 1\frac{1}{5} = 1.2$$
