Solve 950/12

$$\frac { 950 } { 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{475}{6}\approx 79.166666667$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 9 from dividend 950

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)950}\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 12, use the next digit 5 from dividend 950 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)950}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 5 from dividend 950

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)950}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 95. We see that 7 \times 12 = 84 is the nearest. Now subtract 84 from 95 to get reminder 11. Add 7 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}07\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)950}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}84\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}11\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 0 from dividend 950

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}07\phantom{5}\\12\overline{)950}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}84\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}110\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 110. We see that 9 \times 12 = 108 is the nearest. Now subtract 108 from 110 to get reminder 2. Add 9 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}079\phantom{6}\\12\overline{)950}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}84\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}110\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}108\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)99}2\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 12, stop the division. The reminder is 2. The topmost line 079 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 79.

$$\text{Quotient: }79 \text{Reminder: }2$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2} \cdot 19}{2 \cdot 3} = 79\frac{1}{6} = 79.16666666666667$$
