Solve 84div60

$$84 \div 60$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{5}=1.4$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 8 from dividend 84

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Since 8 is less than 60, use the next digit 4 from dividend 84 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 4 from dividend 84

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)84}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 84. We see that 1 \times 60 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 84 to get reminder 24. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}01\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)84}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)}24\\\end{array}$$

Since 24 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 24. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.

$$\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }24$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{5} = 1\frac{2}{5} = 1.4$$
