Solve 240div45

$$240 \div 45$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{16}{3}\approx 5.333333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 240

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}\phantom{1}\\45\overline{)240}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 45, use the next digit 4 from dividend 240 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}0\phantom{2}\\45\overline{)240}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 4 from dividend 240

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}0\phantom{3}\\45\overline{)240}\\\end{array}$$

Since 24 is less than 45, use the next digit 0 from dividend 240 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}00\phantom{4}\\45\overline{)240}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 240

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}00\phantom{5}\\45\overline{)240}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 45 to 240. We see that 5 \times 45 = 225 is the nearest. Now subtract 225 from 240 to get reminder 15. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{45)}005\phantom{6}\\45\overline{)240}\\\phantom{45)}\underline{\phantom{}225\phantom{}}\\\phantom{45)9}15\\\end{array}$$

Since 15 is less than 45, stop the division. The reminder is 15. The topmost line 005 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }15$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{3} = 5\frac{1}{3} = 5.333333333333333$$
