Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 216 ÷ 12 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 21 and divide by 12. We get 1 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 1 × 12 = 12 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 21 - 12 = 9. The remainder 9 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 96 and divide by 12. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 12 = 96 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 96 - 96 = 0.
Final Step:The division is complete with no remainder. 216 divides exactly by 12 to give 18.

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.
