Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (72).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (12).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 72 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 72.
Step 3: Perform the Division
72 ÷ 12=6
- Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 72).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
6 x 12 = 72
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
72 - 72 = 0
- Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
72 ÷ 12 = 6 R 0
- 12 fits into 72 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 0.
