How to solve (24)/(20)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{ 24 }{ 20 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{6}{5}=1.2$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $2$ from dividend $24$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}\phantom{1}\\20\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Since $2$ is less than $20$, use the next digit $4$ from dividend $24$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{2}\\20\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $4$ from dividend $24$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}0\phantom{3}\\20\overline{)24}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $20$ to $24$. We see that $1 \times 20 = 20$ is the nearest. Now subtract $20$ from $24$ to get reminder $4$. Add $1$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{20)}01\phantom{4}\\20\overline{)24}\\\phantom{20)}\underline{\phantom{}20\phantom{}}\\\phantom{20)9}4\\\end{array}$$

Since $4$ is less than $20$, stop the division. The reminder is $4$. The topmost line $01$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $1$.

$$\text{Quotient: }1$$ $$\text{Reminder: }4$$
