Divide use partial quotients 36 divided by 540

Answer and explanation;

= 1/15 is the answer get when 36 is divided by 540 .

We can use the partial quotients to divide 540 by 36 then we get the reciprocal of the answer;

540 ÷ 36

We can take 360 ÷ 36 = 10

Then the remainder is ; 540 -360 = 180

But ; 180 ÷36 = 5

Then we get the sum of the quotients which is 10 +5 = 15

Thus; 540 ÷ 36 = 15

However; the question was 36 ÷ 540 , so we get the reciprocal of 15;

= 36 ÷ 540 = 1/15

each side has a different length.
