Question

divide 12/420 sow the answe step by steo​

Answer 1

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 12 on the left side and the dividend 420 on the right side like this:

1 2 ⟌ 4 2 0

Step 2:

The divisor (12) goes into the first digit of the dividend (4), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

0

1 2 ⟌ 4 2 0

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (12 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

0

1 2 ⟌ 4 2 0

0

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (4 - 0 = 4) and write the answer below.

0

1 2 ⟌ 4 2 0

- 0

4

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (2) like this:

0

1 2 ⟌ 4 2 0

- 0

4 2
