Solve 67/12

$$\frac{ 67 }{ 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{67}{12}\approx 5.583333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 6 from dividend 67

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)67}\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 12, use the next digit 7 from dividend 67 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)67}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 7 from dividend 67

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)67}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 67. We see that 5 \times 12 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 67 to get reminder 7. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}05\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)67}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)9}7\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 12, stop the division. The reminder is 7. The topmost line 05 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.

$$\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }7$$

Factor

$$\frac{67}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 5\frac{7}{12} = 5.583333333333333$$
