- Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 46).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
3 x 12 = 36
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
46 - 36 = 10
- Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
46 ÷ 12 = 3 R 10
