Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 85 ÷ 12 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 85 and divide by 12. We get 7 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 7 × 12 = 84 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 85 - 84 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.

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.
