Solve 155%

$$155 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{20}=1.55$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 155

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)155}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 155 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)155}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 155

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)155}\\\end{array}$$

Since 15 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 155 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)155}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 155

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)155}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 155. We see that 1 \times 100 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 155 to get reminder 55. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}001\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)155}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}55\\\end{array}$$

Since 55 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 55. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }55$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 1\frac{11}{20} = 1.55$$
