What is the easiest way to divide 6.275 by 5

Divide 6 by 5. The quotient is 1 with a remainder of 1. Write 1 above the 6.

$$\begin{array}{r} 1 \\ 5 \overline{) 6.275} \\ -5 \downarrow \\ \hline 1 \\ \end{array}$$

Bring down the 2 to make 12. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.

$$\begin{array}{r} 1. \\ 5 \overline{) 6.275} \\ -5 \downarrow \\ \hline 12 \\ \end{array}$$

Divide 12 by 5. The quotient is 2 with a remainder of 2. Write 2 in the quotient.

$$\begin{array}{r} 1.2 \\ 5 \overline{) 6.275} \\ -5 \downarrow \\ \hline 12 \\ -10 \downarrow \\ \hline 2 \\ \end{array}$$

Bring down the 7 to make 27. Divide 27 by 5. The quotient is 5 with a remainder of 2. Write 5 in the quotient.

$$\begin{array}{r} 1.25 \\ 5 \overline{) 6.275} \\ -5 \downarrow \\ \hline 12 \\ -10 \downarrow \\ \hline 27 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 2 \\ \end{array}$$

Bring down the 5 to make 25. Divide 25 by 5. The quotient is 5 with a remainder of 0. Write 5 in the quotient.

$$\begin{array}{r} 1.255 \\ 5 \overline{) 6.275} \\ -5 \downarrow \\ \hline 12 \\ -10 \downarrow \\ \hline 27 \\ -25 \downarrow \\ \hline 25 \\ -25 \\ \hline 0 \\ \end{array}$$

The result is 1.255. If you need the answer in milliliters, multiply by 1000:

$$1.255 \text{ L} \times 1000 = 1255 \text{ mL}$$
