Question

Henri puts 24 candies in each gift bag. He uses 432 candies. How many gift bags did he fill?

Answer 1

Answer:

Henri filled 18 gift bags. Hope this helps!!

Step-by-step explanation:

You half to divide how many candies that you are putting in the bag by the amount you have. So if you have 432 candies and you are putting 24 in each bag you would have 18 bags.

Answer 2

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 24 on the left side and the dividend 432 on the right side like this:

2 4 ⟌ 4 3 2

Step 2:

The divisor (24) goes into the first digit of the dividend (4), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:

     

       0    

 2 4 ⟌ 4 3 2

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (24 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.

2 4 ⟌ 4 3 2

     0    

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (4 - 0 = 4) and write the answer below.

2 4 ⟌ 4 3 2

      -0    

      43  

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (24 x 1 = 24) and write that answer at the bottom:

       01  

 2 4 ⟌ 4 3 2

     - 0    

       43  

     - 24  

       192

 

Step 11:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (24 x 8 = 192) and write the answer at the bottom:          

24 ⟌432

                  -0

     43  

    -24  

    192

    192

Step 12:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (192 - 192 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom.

       018

 2 4 ⟌432

         0

      43  

     -24  

      192

     -192

                            0      

You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend.

The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.

Therefore, the answer to 432 divided by 24 calculated using Long Division is:

18
