Question

$$75 : 15$$

Evaluate

$5$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $7$ from dividend $75$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}\phantom{1}\\15\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Since $7$ is less than $15$, use the next digit $5$ from dividend $75$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{2}\\15\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $5$ from dividend $75$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{3}\\15\overline{)75}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $15$ to $75$. We see that $5 \times 15 = 75$ is the nearest. Now subtract $75$ from $75$ to get reminder $0$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}05\phantom{4}\\15\overline{)75}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}75\phantom{}}\\\phantom{15)99}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $15$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $05$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
