Answered by Steve
you are dividing backwards:

345/145 = 2.3
Answered by Rein
I don't understand

when i divide 145/345 i get 2.3
Answered by Steve
NO, YOU DO NOT

When you divide 345 by 145 you get 2.3

You are doing it backwards! By hand, you need to start out with

345)125

345 is the divisor, not the dividend!
