Solve 2946div12

$$2946 \div 12$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{491}{2}=245.5$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 2946

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\end{array}$$

Since 2 is less than 12, use the next digit 9 from dividend 2946 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 9 from dividend 2946

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 29. We see that 2 \times 12 = 24 is the nearest. Now subtract 24 from 29 to get reminder 5. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}02\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{12)9}5\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 4 from dividend 2946

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}02\phantom{5}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{12)9}54\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 54. We see that 4 \times 12 = 48 is the nearest. Now subtract 48 from 54 to get reminder 6. Add 4 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}024\phantom{6}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{12)9}54\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{9}48\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)99}6\\\end{array}$$

Use the 4^{th} digit 6 from dividend 2946

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}024\phantom{7}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{12)9}54\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{9}48\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)99}66\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 66. We see that 5 \times 12 = 60 is the nearest. Now subtract 60 from 66 to get reminder 6. Add 5 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0245\phantom{8}\\12\overline{)2946}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{99}}\\\phantom{12)9}54\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{9}48\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)99}66\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{99}60\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)999}6\\\end{array}$$

Since 6 is less than 12, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 0245 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 245.

$$\text{Quotient: }245 \text{Reminder: }6$$

Factor

$$\frac{491}{2} = 245\frac{1}{2} = 245.5$$
