5 divided by 20 long division

Answer 1

To perform long division of 5 divided by 20, you set it up like this:

     0.25
   __________
20 | 5.00
     - 0
   ______
      500
     - 400
   ______
      100
     - 100
   ______
        0

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the process:

1. Since 20 cannot go into 5, you consider 5.00 (the decimal form of 5) and position the decimal in the quotient directly above the decimal in 5.00.
2. Determine how many times 20 goes into 50 (the first two digits of 500). 20 goes into 50 two times (2 x 20 = 40).
3. Subtract 40 from 50 to get 10. Bring down the next digit (the next 0) to make it 100.
4. Now determine how many times 20 goes into 100. It goes exactly 5 times (5 x 20 = 100).
5. Subtract 100 from 100 which results in 0.

The answer to 5 divided by 20 is 0.25.
