Solve 75/55

$$\frac{ 75 }{ 55 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{15}{11}\approx 1.363636364$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{55)}\phantom{1}\\55\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 55, use the next digit 5 from dividend 75 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{55)}0\phantom{2}\\55\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{55)}0\phantom{3}\\55\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 55 to 75. We see that 1 \times 55 = 55 is the nearest. Now subtract 55 from 75 to get reminder 20. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{55)}01\phantom{4}\\55\overline{)75}\\\phantom{55)}\underline{\phantom{}55\phantom{}}\\\phantom{55)}20\\\end{array}$$

Since 20 is less than 55, stop the division. The reminder is 20. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }20$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 5}{11} = 1\frac{4}{11} = 1.3636363636363635$$
