- Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 56).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
4 x 12 = 48
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
56 - 48 = 8
- Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
56 ÷ 12 = 4 R 8
- 12 fits into 56 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 8.
