Solve 5880div80

$$5880 \div 80$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{147}{2}=73.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 5 from dividend 5880

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}\phantom{1}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\end{array}$$

Since 5 is less than 80, use the next digit 8 from dividend 5880 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{2}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 5880

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0\phantom{3}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\end{array}$$

Since 58 is less than 80, use the next digit 8 from dividend 5880 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{4}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 8 from dividend 5880

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}00\phantom{5}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 80 to 588. We see that 7 \times 80 = 560 is the nearest. Now subtract 560 from 588 to get reminder 28. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}007\phantom{6}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}560\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{80)9}28\\\end{array}$$

Use the 4^{th} digit 0 from dividend 5880

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}007\phantom{7}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}560\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{80)9}280\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 80 to 280. We see that 3 \times 80 = 240 is the nearest. Now subtract 240 from 280 to get reminder 40. Add 3 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{80)}0073\phantom{8}\\80\overline{)5880}\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{}560\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{80)9}280\\\phantom{80)}\underline{\phantom{9}240\phantom{}}\\\phantom{80)99}40\\\end{array}$$

Since 40 is less than 80, stop the division. The reminder is 40. The topmost line 0073 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 73.

$$\text{Quotient: }73 \text{Reminder: }40$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 7 ^ {2}}{2} = 73\frac{1}{2} = 73.5$$
