Solve 720div480=

$$720 \div 480=$$

Evaluate

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

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 7 from dividend 720

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}\phantom{1}\\480\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 480, use the next digit 2 from dividend 720 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{2}\\480\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 2 from dividend 720

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{3}\\480\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Since 72 is less than 480, use the next digit 0 from dividend 720 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{4}\\480\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 720

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{5}\\480\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 480 to 720. We see that 1 \times 480 = 480 is the nearest. Now subtract 480 from 720 to get reminder 240. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}001\phantom{6}\\480\overline{)720}\\\phantom{480)}\underline{\phantom{}480\phantom{}}\\\phantom{480)}240\\\end{array}$$

Since 240 is less than 480, stop the division. The reminder is 240. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }240$$

Factor

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