Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 179,000 ÷ 12 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 17 and divide by 12. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 12 = 12 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 17 - 12 = 5. The remainder 5 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 59 and divide by 12. We get 4 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 4 × 12 = 48 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 59 - 48 = 11. The remainder 11 is carried to the next step.
Step 3:Take the number 110 and divide by 12. We get 9 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 9 × 12 = 108 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 110 - 108 = 2. The remainder 2 is carried to the next step.
Step 4:Take the number 20 and divide by 12. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 12 = 12 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 20 - 12 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Step 5:Take the number 80 and divide by 12. We get 6 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 6 × 12 = 72 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 80 - 72 = 8. The remainder 8 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 8 is smaller than the divisor 12, so the division is complete. The final answer is 14,916 with remainder 8.

58066 × 12 = 7280 - 72 = 88

Final remainder: 8

Since 8 is less than 12, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 14,916 with remainder 8.

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.
