Solve 1200div479

$$1200 \div 479$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1200}{479}\approx 2.505219207$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 1200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}\phantom{1}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 479, use the next digit 2 from dividend 1200 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}0\phantom{2}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 1200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}0\phantom{3}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 479, use the next digit 0 from dividend 1200 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}00\phantom{4}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 1200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}00\phantom{5}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Since 120 is less than 479, use the next digit 0 from dividend 1200 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}000\phantom{6}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 4^{th} digit 0 from dividend 1200

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}000\phantom{7}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 479 to 1200. We see that 2 \times 479 = 958 is the nearest. Now subtract 958 from 1200 to get reminder 242. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{479)}0002\phantom{8}\\479\overline{)1200}\\\phantom{479)}\underline{\phantom{9}958\phantom{}}\\\phantom{479)9}242\\\end{array}$$

Since 242 is less than 479, stop the division. The reminder is 242. The topmost line 0002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }242$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4} \cdot 3 \cdot 5 ^ {2}}{479} = 2\frac{242}{479} = 2.5052192066805845$$
