Solve 187%

$$187 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{187}{100}=1.87$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 187

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)187}\\\end{array}$$

Since 1 is less than 100, use the next digit 8 from dividend 187 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)187}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 187

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)187}\\\end{array}$$

Since 18 is less than 100, use the next digit 7 from dividend 187 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)187}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 7 from dividend 187

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)187}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 187. We see that 1 \times 100 = 100 is the nearest. Now subtract 100 from 187 to get reminder 87. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}001\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)187}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}100\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}87\\\end{array}$$

Since 87 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 87. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }87$$

Factor

$$\frac{11 \cdot 17}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{87}{100} = 1.87$$
