Question

$$120 \div 60$$

Evaluate

$2$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $1$ from dividend $120$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}\phantom{1}\\60\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since $1$ is less than $60$, use the next digit $2$ from dividend $120$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{2}\\60\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $2$ from dividend $120$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}0\phantom{3}\\60\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Since $12$ is less than $60$, use the next digit $0$ from dividend $120$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{4}\\60\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $3^{rd}$ digit $0$ from dividend $120$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}00\phantom{5}\\60\overline{)120}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $60$ to $120$. We see that $2 \times 60 = 120$ is the nearest. Now subtract $120$ from $120$ to get reminder $0$. Add $2$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{60)}002\phantom{6}\\60\overline{)120}\\\phantom{60)}\underline{\phantom{}120\phantom{}}\\\phantom{60)999}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $60$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $002$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $2$.

$$\text{Quotient: }2$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
