Therefore, the correct simplified result of 1.2 divided by 255 is 0.00470588235.
To divide 1.2 by 255 using long division, follow these steps:
1. Set up the long division as follows:
________
255|1.2
2. Start by dividing the whole number part, which is 1, by the divisor 255. Since 1 divided by 255 is less than 1, the quotient will be 0, and you write it above the division symbol:
0
________
255|1.2
3. Next, bring down the decimal point from the dividend (1.2) and add a placeholder 0 after the decimal point above the division symbol:
0.
________
255|1.2
4. Now, we need to convert the decimal part of the dividend, which is 2, into a fraction. Since there is 1 digit after the decimal point, we multiply 2 by 10 (because there is one digit after the decimal point) to shift the decimal point one place to the right:
0.
________
255|1.2
10
This gives us 20 as the new numerator, and we leave the denominator as 10.
5. Now, divide the new numerator (20) by the divisor (255). Write the quotient (rounded to a suitable number of decimal places) above the division symbol, and place the result below the division symbol aligned with the decimal point:
0.078
________
255|1.2
10
The quotient, in this case, is 0.078 (rounded to three decimal places).
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have the desired level of precision or until you notice a recurring pattern in the decimal part.
Therefore, 1.2 divided by 255 is approximately equal to 0.078.
