How to solve (36)/(12)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$\frac{ 36 }{ 12 }$$

Evaluate

$3$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $3$ from dividend $36$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Since $3$ is less than $12$, use the next digit $6$ from dividend $36$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $6$ from dividend $36$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)36}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $12$ to $36$. We see that $3 \times 12 = 36$ is the nearest. Now subtract $36$ from $36$ to get reminder $0$. Add $3$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}03\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)36}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}36\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)99}0\\\end{array}$$

Since $0$ is less than $12$, stop the division. The reminder is $0$. The topmost line $03$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $3$.

$$\text{Quotient: }3$$ $$\text{Reminder: }0$$
