Question

336 divided by 12 using partial quotients

Answer 1

Answer:

The partial quotients are 20 and 8. The quotient is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dividend is 336 and divisor is 12.

Find the easy factors of 12, which are less than 336.

$12\times 10=120$

$12\times 20=240$

$12\times 30=360$

Since 360>336, therefore 30 cannot be a partial quotient.

So, 20 is a partial quotient. Subtract 240 from 336. Apply this process till the dividend become 0.

The remaining dividend is

$336-240=96$

Find the easy factors of 12, which are less than 96.

$12\times 8=96$

The number 8 is a partial quotient.

$96-96=0$

Now the dividend is zero, so the partial quotients are 20 and 8. The quotient is the sum of partial quotients

$20+8=28$

The quotient is 28.
