Solve 789/12

$$\frac{ 789 }{ 12 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{263}{4}=65.75$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 7 from dividend 789

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)789}\\\end{array}$$

Since 7 is less than 12, use the next digit 8 from dividend 789 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)789}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 8 from dividend 789

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)789}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 78. We see that 6 \times 12 = 72 is the nearest. Now subtract 72 from 78 to get reminder 6. Add 6 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}06\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)789}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)9}6\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 9 from dividend 789

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}06\phantom{5}\\12\overline{)789}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)9}69\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 69. We see that 5 \times 12 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 69 to get reminder 9. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}065\phantom{6}\\12\overline{)789}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}72\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)9}69\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{9}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)99}9\\\end{array}$$

Since 9 is less than 12, stop the division. The reminder is 9. The topmost line 065 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 65.

$$\text{Quotient: }65 \text{Reminder: }9$$

Factor

$$\frac{263}{2 ^ {2}} = 65\frac{3}{4} = 65.75$$
