Solve 45:30

$$45 : 30$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 4 from dividend 45

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}\phantom{1}\\30\overline{)45}\\\end{array}$$

Since 4 is less than 30, use the next digit 5 from dividend 45 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}0\phantom{2}\\30\overline{)45}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 45

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}0\phantom{3}\\30\overline{)45}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 30 to 45. We see that 1 \times 30 = 30 is the nearest. Now subtract 30 from 45 to get reminder 15. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{30)}01\phantom{4}\\30\overline{)45}\\\phantom{30)}\underline{\phantom{}30\phantom{}}\\\phantom{30)}15\\\end{array}$$

Since 15 is less than 30, stop the division. The reminder is 15. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }15$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
