Solve 960:480

$$960 : 480$$

Evaluate

$$2$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 9 from dividend 960

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}\phantom{1}\\480\overline{)960}\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 480, use the next digit 6 from dividend 960 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{2}\\480\overline{)960}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 6 from dividend 960

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}0\phantom{3}\\480\overline{)960}\\\end{array}$$

Since 96 is less than 480, use the next digit 0 from dividend 960 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{4}\\480\overline{)960}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 960

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}00\phantom{5}\\480\overline{)960}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 480 to 960. We see that 2 \times 480 = 960 is the nearest. Now subtract 960 from 960 to get reminder 0. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{480)}002\phantom{6}\\480\overline{)960}\\\phantom{480)}\underline{\phantom{}960\phantom{}}\\\phantom{480)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since 0 is less than 480, stop the division. The reminder is 0. The topmost line 002 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 2.

$$\text{Quotient: }2 \text{Reminder: }0$$

Factor
