1500 divided by 9

Steps to Solve

1. Set up the division problem

We need to divide 1500 by 9. This can be written as:

$$ \frac{1500}{9} $$

2. Perform the division

Now, we carry out the division of 1500 by 9.

When you divide 1500 by 9, you can either do long division or use a calculator.

Using long division, 9 goes into 150 one time, which gives us:

$$ 9 \times 1 = 9 $$

So, we subtract 9 from 15:

$$ 15 - 9 = 6 $$

Then we bring down the next digit (0), making it 60.

Now, 9 goes into 60 six times:

$$ 9 \times 6 = 54 $$

Subtracting 54 from 60 gives:

$$ 60 - 54 = 6 $$

Bring down the next digit (0), making it 60 again.

Repeating the process, we find that 9 fits into 60 six times.

This gives us a quotient of 166 with a remainder. Thus, we can express the division as:

$$ 1500 \div 9 = 166 \text{ R } 6 $$

3. Present the result

The result could also be expressed in decimal form. To find this, we can keep dividing:

6 (the remainder) is carried down to make it 60, and when divided by 9 gives us approximately 6.666.

So, the decimal approximation is:

$$ 166 + \frac{6}{9} = 166 + 0.666 \approx 166.67 $$

Thus, we summarize:

$$ 1500 \div 9 = 166.67 $$
