Solve 720div500

$$720 \div 500$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{36}{25}=1.44$$

Steps For Long Division Method

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}\phantom{1}\\500\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 500, use the next digit 2 from dividend 720 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}0\phantom{2}\\500\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}0\phantom{3}\\500\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Since 72 is less than 500, use the next digit 0 from dividend 720 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}00\phantom{4}\\500\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

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

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}00\phantom{5}\\500\overline{)720}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 500 to 720. We see that 1 \times 500 = 500 is the nearest. Now subtract 500 from 720 to get reminder 220. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{500)}001\phantom{6}\\500\overline{)720}\\\phantom{500)}\underline{\phantom{}500\phantom{}}\\\phantom{500)}220\\\end{array}$$

Since 220 is less than 500, stop the division. The reminder is 220. The topmost line 001 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }220$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3 ^ {2}}{5 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{11}{25} = 1.44$$
