Solve 265%

$$265 \%$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{53}{20}=2.65$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 265

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}\phantom{1}\\100\overline{)265}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 100, use the next digit 6 from dividend 265 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{2}\\100\overline{)265}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 265

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}0\phantom{3}\\100\overline{)265}\\\end{array}$$

Since 26 is less than 100, use the next digit 5 from dividend 265 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{4}\\100\overline{)265}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 265

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}00\phantom{5}\\100\overline{)265}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 100 to 265. We see that 2 \times 100 = 200 is the nearest. Now subtract 200 from 265 to get reminder 65. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{100)}002\phantom{6}\\100\overline{)265}\\\phantom{100)}\underline{\phantom{}200\phantom{}}\\\phantom{100)9}65\\\end{array}$$

Since 65 is less than 100, stop the division. The reminder is 65. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }65$$

Factor

$$\frac{53}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 2\frac{13}{20} = 2.65$$
