Divide using partial quotients: 540 divided by 36.

**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

In partial-quotients division, it takes several steps to find the quotient. At each step, you find a partial answer (called a partial quotient ); then you find the product of the partial quotient and divisor and subtract it from the dividend. Finally, you add all the partial quotients to find the final quotient. See the attached figure.
So, the answer is ⇒ 540 36 ​ = 15 1 ​

Using the partial quotients method, 540 divided by 36 equals 15. We estimated how many times 36 fits into 540, finding it fits 10 times, then accounted for the remainder fitting 5 more times. Therefore, the final answer is 15.
