$350 \div 62.5$

Step 1

Set up the division problem in long division format.

$6$

$2$

$5$

$3$

$5$

$0$

Step 2

Move the decimal the same amount of places in both numbers until the divisor is a whole number.

$6$

$2$

$5$

$3$

$5$

$0$

Step 3

Divide $3500$ by $625$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

						$5$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$

Step 4

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(5)$ by the divisor $625$ .

						$5$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$

Step 5

Subtract $3125$ from $3500$ .

						$5$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$

Step 6

Add a $0$ to the end of the dividend.

						$5$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$

Step 7

Bring down the next number of the dividend.

						$5$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$

Step 8

Divide $3750$ by $625$ . Place this digit in the quotient on top of the division symbol.

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$

Step 9

Multiply the newest quotient digit $(6)$ by the divisor $625$ .

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$

Step 10

Subtract $3750$ from $3750$ .

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
								$0$

Step 11

The result of division of $350 \div 62.5$ is $5.6$ .

$5.6$

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
								$0$

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
				$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
				$-$	$3$	$7$	$5$	$0$
								$0$

						$5$	.	$6$
$6$	$2$	$5$	$3$	$5$	$0$	$0$	.	$0$
			$3$	$1$	$2$	$5$
