Solve 60div32

$$60 \div 32$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{15}{8}=1.875$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 60

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}\phantom{1}\\32\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 32, use the next digit 0 from dividend 60 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}0\phantom{2}\\32\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 60

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}0\phantom{3}\\32\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 32 to 60. We see that 1 \times 32 = 32 is the nearest. Now subtract 32 from 60 to get reminder 28. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{32)}01\phantom{4}\\32\overline{)60}\\\phantom{32)}\underline{\phantom{}32\phantom{}}\\\phantom{32)}28\\\end{array}$$

Since 28 is less than 32, stop the division. The reminder is 28. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }28$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 5}{2 ^ {3}} = 1\frac{7}{8} = 1.875$$
