Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)32 ÷ 2 =
Correct Answer
16Explanation
To divide 32 by 2, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 3 (the first digit of 32) by 2, which gives us 1. We then multiply 1 by 2, which gives us 2, and subtract it from 3 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide 12 by 2, which gives us 6. We then multiply 6 by 2, which gives us 12, and subtract it from 12 to get 0. Therefore, the quotient is 16.Rate this question:

Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)60 ÷ 5 =
Correct Answer
12Explanation
To divide 60 by 5, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 5 into 6, which gives us 1 with a remainder of 1. We then bring down the 0 from 60 and divide 5 into 10, which gives us 2. Therefore, the quotient is 12.Rate this question:

Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)72 ÷ 3 =
Correct Answer
24Explanation
To divide 72 by 3, we can use long division method. We start by dividing 7 (the first digit of 72) by 3, which equals 2. Then we multiply 2 by 3, which equals 6, and subtract it from 7 to get 1. We bring down the next digit, 2, and divide it by 3, which equals 0. We then multiply 0 by 3, which is 0, and subtract it from 2, leaving us with 2. Since there are no more digits to bring down, our final answer is 24.Rate this question:

Divide the following numbers using a pencil and paper.(calculators are not permitted)10840 ÷ 20 =
Correct Answer
542Explanation
To divide 10840 by 20, start by dividing the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (20). Since 1 is smaller than 20, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (0) and divide it by 20. Again, the quotient is 0. Bring down the next digit (8) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 0. Finally, bring down the last digit (4) and divide it by 20. The quotient is 2. Therefore, the answer is 542.Rate this question:
