Answer for screen readers
The final answer is 6666.66\overline{6}
Steps to Solve
- Set up the division
Set up the division problem with 80000 as the dividend and 12 as the divisor.
- Divide the leading digit(s)
Take the first digit of the dividend (8) and divide it by 12. Since 8 is less than 12, consider the first two digits (80).
$$80 , \div , 12 = 6 \text{ remainder } 8$$
- Continue with the next digit
Bring down the next digit (0), making it 80 again. Divide 80 by 12.
$$80 , \div , 12 = 6 \text{ remainder } 8$$
- Bring down the next digit and repeat
Continue this process with the remaining digits:
- Bring down the next 0, making it 80 again. Divide by 12.
- Bring down the final 0, making it 80 again. Divide by 12.
So each step involves repeating:
$$80 , \div , 12 = 6 \text{ remainder } 8$$
- Combine the results
The quotient is 6666 with a remainder of 8. To show the final answer:
$$80000 , \div , 12 = 6666.66\overline{6}$$
The final answer is 6666.66\overline{6}
More Information
This division problem demonstrates how repeating decimals work: 80000 divided by 12 equals 6666.666... with the 6 repeating indefinitely.
Tips
A common mistake in long division is not bringing down the next digit after each step or forgetting to handle remainders properly.
