How to solve (63)/(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

$$\frac{ 63 }{ 12 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{21}{4}=5.25$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the $1^{st}$ digit $6$ from dividend $63$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)63}\\\end{array}$$

Since $6$ is less than $12$, use the next digit $3$ from dividend $63$ and add $0$ to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)63}\\\end{array}$$

Use the $2^{nd}$ digit $3$ from dividend $63$

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)63}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of $12$ to $63$. We see that $5 \times 12 = 60$ is the nearest. Now subtract $60$ from $63$ to get reminder $3$. Add $5$ to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}05\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)63}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)9}3\\\end{array}$$

Since $3$ is less than $12$, stop the division. The reminder is $3$. The topmost line $05$ is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient $5$.

$$\text{Quotient: }5$$ $$\text{Reminder: }3$$
