Solve 372div15

$$372 \div 15$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{124}{5}=24.8$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 372

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}\phantom{1}\\15\overline{)372}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 15, use the next digit 7 from dividend 372 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{2}\\15\overline{)372}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 372

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{3}\\15\overline{)372}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 15 to 37. We see that 2 \times 15 = 30 is the nearest. Now subtract 30 from 37 to get reminder 7. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}02\phantom{4}\\15\overline{)372}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}30\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{15)9}7\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 2 from dividend 372

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}02\phantom{5}\\15\overline{)372}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}30\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{15)9}72\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 15 to 72. We see that 4 \times 15 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 72 to get reminder 12. Add 4 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}024\phantom{6}\\15\overline{)372}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}30\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{15)9}72\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{9}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{15)9}12\\\end{array}$$

Since 12 is less than 15, stop the division. The reminder is 12. The topmost line 024 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 24.

$$\text{Quotient: }24 \text{Reminder: }12$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 31}{5} = 24\frac{4}{5} = 24.8$$
