Solve 56:37

$$56 : 37$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{56}{37}\approx 1.513513514$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 56

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}\phantom{1}\\37\overline{)56}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 37, use the next digit 6 from dividend 56 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}0\phantom{2}\\37\overline{)56}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 56

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}0\phantom{3}\\37\overline{)56}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 37 to 56. We see that 1 \times 37 = 37 is the nearest. Now subtract 37 from 56 to get reminder 19. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{37)}01\phantom{4}\\37\overline{)56}\\\phantom{37)}\underline{\phantom{}37\phantom{}}\\\phantom{37)}19\\\end{array}$$

Since 19 is less than 37, stop the division. The reminder is 19. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }19$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {3} \cdot 7}{37} = 1\frac{19}{37} = 1.5135135135135136$$
