Solve 75/50

$$\frac{ 75 }{ 50 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 7 from dividend 75

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}\phantom{1}\\50\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 50, use the next digit 5 from dividend 75 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{2}\\50\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 75

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}0\phantom{3}\\50\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 50 to 75. We see that 1 \times 50 = 50 is the nearest. Now subtract 50 from 75 to get reminder 25. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{50)}01\phantom{4}\\50\overline{)75}\\\phantom{50)}\underline{\phantom{}50\phantom{}}\\\phantom{50)}25\\\end{array}$$

Since 25 is less than 50, stop the division. The reminder is 25. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }25$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
