Question

$$60/12$$

Evaluate

$5$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $6$ from dividend $60$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Since $6$ is less than $12$, use the next digit $0$ from dividend $60$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $0$ from dividend $60$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)60}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $12$ to $60$. We see that $5 \times 12 = 60$ is the nearest. Now subtract $60$ from $60$ to get reminder $0$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}05\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)60}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)99}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $12$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $05$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
