Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 168 ÷ 12 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 16 and divide by 12. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 12 = 12 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 16 - 12 = 4. The remainder 4 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 48 and divide by 12. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 12 = 48 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 48 - 48 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 168 divides exactly by 12 to give 14.

About Long Division

Long division is a method for dividing large numbers that breaks down the division process into smaller, manageable steps. It's taught in elementary school as a systematic way to perform division by hand.

The process involves:

  • Dividing the leftmost digits of the dividend by the divisor
  • Writing the quotient digit above the dividend
  • Multiplying the quotient digit by the divisor
  • Subtracting this product from the current dividend portion
  • Bringing down the next digit and repeating the process

This method ensures accuracy and helps students understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
