Solve 500div372

$$500 \div 372$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{125}{93}\approx 1.344086022$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 500

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}\phantom{1}\\372\overline{)500}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 372, use the next digit 0 from dividend 500 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}0\phantom{2}\\372\overline{)500}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 500

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}0\phantom{3}\\372\overline{)500}\\\end{array}$$

Since 50 is less than 372, use the next digit 0 from dividend 500 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}00\phantom{4}\\372\overline{)500}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 500

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}00\phantom{5}\\372\overline{)500}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 372 to 500. We see that 1 \times 372 = 372 is the nearest. Now subtract 372 from 500 to get reminder 128. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{372)}001\phantom{6}\\372\overline{)500}\\\phantom{372)}\underline{\phantom{}372\phantom{}}\\\phantom{372)}128\\\end{array}$$

Since 128 is less than 372, stop the division. The reminder is 128. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }128$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {3}}{3 \cdot 31} = 1\frac{32}{93} = 1.3440860215053763$$
