Solve 346:12=

$$346 : 12 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{173}{6}\approx 28.833333333$$

Steps For Long Division Method

Use the 1^{st} digit 3 from dividend 346

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}\phantom{1}\\12\overline{)346}\\\end{array}$$

Since 3 is less than 12, use the next digit 4 from dividend 346 and add 0 to the quotient

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{2}\\12\overline{)346}\\\end{array}$$

Use the 2^{nd} digit 4 from dividend 346

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}0\phantom{3}\\12\overline{)346}\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 34. We see that 2 \times 12 = 24 is the nearest. Now subtract 24 from 34 to get reminder 10. Add 2 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}02\phantom{4}\\12\overline{)346}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}10\\\end{array}$$

Use the 3^{rd} digit 6 from dividend 346

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}02\phantom{5}\\12\overline{)346}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}106\\\end{array}$$

Find closest multiple of 12 to 106. We see that 8 \times 12 = 96 is the nearest. Now subtract 96 from 106 to get reminder 10. Add 8 to quotient.

$$\begin{array}{l}\phantom{12)}028\phantom{6}\\12\overline{)346}\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{}24\phantom{9}}\\\phantom{12)}106\\\phantom{12)}\underline{\phantom{9}96\phantom{}}\\\phantom{12)9}10\\\end{array}$$

Since 10 is less than 12, stop the division. The reminder is 10. The topmost line 028 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 28.

$$\text{Quotient: }28 \text{Reminder: }10$$

Factor

$$\frac{173}{2 \cdot 3} = 28\frac{5}{6} = 28.833333333333332$$
