Question

use the standard algorithm to find 432 divide by 12.
How can you find the first digit in the quotient?
Divide ? by 12. The first digit
goes in the ? place.

Answer 1

how many times does 12 go into 43?

Answer 2

To find 432 divided by 12 using the standard algorithm, we proceed as follows:

36
-------
12 | 432
- 36
------
72
- 72
------
0

Therefore, 432 divided by 12 is 36.

To find the first digit in the quotient without calculating, you can simply look at the first digit of the dividend (432) and divide it by the divisor (12). In this case, 4 divided by 12 is 3. Therefore, the first digit in the quotient is 3.

Answer 3

When 12 is divided into 43, it goes 3 times with a remainder of 7.
