Solve 120div70

$$120 \div 70$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{7}\approx 1.714285714$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}\phantom{1}\\70\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 70, use the next digit 2 from dividend 120 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}0\phantom{2}\\70\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}0\phantom{3}\\70\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 70, use the next digit 0 from dividend 120 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}00\phantom{4}\\70\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 120

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}00\phantom{5}\\70\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 70 to 120. We see that 1 \times 70 = 70 is the nearest. Now subtract 70 from 120 to get reminder 50. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{70)}001\phantom{6}\\70\overline{)120}\\\phantom{70)}\underline{\phantom{9}70\phantom{}}\\\phantom{70)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 70, stop the division. The reminder is 50. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }50$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{7} = 1\frac{5}{7} = 1.7142857142857142$$
