Solve 300div125=

$$300 \div 125=$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{5}=2.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}\phantom{1}\\125\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 125, use the next digit 0 from dividend 300 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}0\phantom{2}\\125\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}0\phantom{3}\\125\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Since 30 is less than 125, use the next digit 0 from dividend 300 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}00\phantom{4}\\125\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 300

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}00\phantom{5}\\125\overline{)300}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 125 to 300. We see that 2 \times 125 = 250 is the nearest. Now subtract 250 from 300 to get reminder 50. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{125)}002\phantom{6}\\125\overline{)300}\\\phantom{125)}\underline{\phantom{}250\phantom{}}\\\phantom{125)9}50\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 125, stop the division. The reminder is 50. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }50$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{5} = 2\frac{2}{5} = 2.4$$
