Evaluate

$$\frac{500}{9}\approx 55.555555556$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}\phantom{1}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 7200, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400000 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}0\phantom{2}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}0\phantom{3}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Since 40 is less than 7200, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400000 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}00\phantom{4}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}00\phantom{5}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Since 400 is less than 7200, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400000 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}000\phantom{6}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 4^{th} digit 0 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}000\phantom{7}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4000 is less than 7200, use the next digit 0 from dividend 400000 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}0000\phantom{8}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 5^{th} digit 0 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}0000\phantom{9}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 7200 to 40000. We see that 5 \times 7200 = 36000 is the nearest. Now subtract 36000 from 40000 to get reminder 4000. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}00005\phantom{10}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\phantom{7200)}\underline{\phantom{}36000\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{7200)9}4000\\\end{array}$$

Use the 6^{th} digit 0 from dividend 400000

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}00005\phantom{11}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\phantom{7200)}\underline{\phantom{}36000\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{7200)9}40000\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 7200 to 40000. We see that 5 \times 7200 = 36000 is the nearest. Now subtract 36000 from 40000 to get reminder 4000. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{7200)}000055\phantom{12}\\7200\overline{)400000}\\\phantom{7200)}\underline{\phantom{}36000\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{7200)9}40000\\\phantom{7200)}\underline{\phantom{9}36000\phantom{}}\\\phantom{7200)99}4000\\\end{array}$$

Since 4000 is less than 7200, stop the division. The reminder is 4000. The topmost line 000055 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 55.

$$\text{Quotient: }55 \text{Reminder: }4000$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5 ^ {3}}{3 ^ {2}} = 55\frac{5}{9} = 55.55555555555556$$
