Step-by-Step Explanation

Here's how to solve 997 ÷ 12 using long division method step by step:

Step 1:Take the number 99 and divide by 12. We get 8 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 8 × 12 = 96 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 99 - 96 = 3. The remainder 3 is carried to the next step.
Step 2:Take the number 37 and divide by 12. We get 3 (write it in the quotient). Multiply 3 × 12 = 36 (write it below the dividend). Subtract 37 - 36 = 1. The remainder 1 is carried to the next step.
Final Step:The remainder 1 is smaller than the divisor 12, so the division is complete. The final answer is 83 with remainder 1.

Since 1 is less than 12, we cannot divide further. The final answer is 83 with remainder 1.

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.
