Solve 125%

$$125 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{4}=1.25$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 125

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)125}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 100, use the next digit 2 from dividend 125 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)125}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 125

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)125}\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 125 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)125}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 125

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)125}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 125. We see that 1 \times 100 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 125 to get reminder 25. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}001\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)125}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}25\\\end{array}$$

Since 25 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 25. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

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

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$
