Solve 954div60

$$954 \div 60$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{159}{10}=15.9$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 9 from dividend 954

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)954}\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 60, use the next digit 5 from dividend 954 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)954}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 954

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)954}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 95. We see that 1 \times 60 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 95 to get reminder 35. Add 1 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}01\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)954}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{60)}35\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 4 from dividend 954

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}01\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)954}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{60)}354\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 60 to 354. We see that 5 \times 60 = 300 is the nearest. Now subtract 300 from 354 to get reminder 54. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}015\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)954}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{60)}354\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}300\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)9}54\\\end{array}$$

Since 54 is less than 60, stop the division. The reminder is 54. The topmost line 015 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 15.

$$\text{Quotient: }15 \text{Reminder: }54$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 53}{2 \cdot 5} = 15\frac{9}{10} = 15.9$$
