Solve 600/480

$$\frac{ 600 }{ 480 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{4}=1.25$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}\phantom{1}\\480\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 480, use the next digit 0 from dividend 600 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{2}\\480\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{3}\\480\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Since 60 is less than 480, use the next digit 0 from dividend 600 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{4}\\480\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 600

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{5}\\480\overline{)600}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 480 to 600. We see that 1 \times 480 = 480 is the nearest. Now subtract 480 from 600 to get reminder 120. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}001\phantom{6}\\480\overline{)600}\\\phantom{480)}\underline{\phantom{}480\phantom{}}\\\phantom{480)}120\\\end{array}$$

Since 120 is less than 480, 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

$$\frac{5}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$
