Solve 80/32

$$\frac{ 80 }{ 32 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 80

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}\phantom{1}\\32\overline{)80}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 32, use the next digit 0 from dividend 80 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}0\phantom{2}\\32\overline{)80}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 80

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}0\phantom{3}\\32\overline{)80}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 32 to 80. We see that 2 \times 32 = 64 is the nearest. Now subtract 64 from 80 to get reminder 16. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}02\phantom{4}\\32\overline{)80}\\\phantom{32)}\underline{\phantom{}64\phantom{}}\\\phantom{32)}16\\\end{array}$$

Since 16 is less than 32, stop the division. The reminder is 16. The topmost line 02 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }16$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
