The first error appears in **Step 1**. In that step, the student is trying to determine how many times 12 goes into the first part of the dividend (43).
12 goes into 43 **3** times, not 1 or 2. So, the correct answer to 432 / 12 is **36** (since 12 times 3 is 36, and the remainder after subtracting from 43 would lead on to bring down the next digit for another step with 12).
The correct breakdown should be:
1. 12 goes into 43 **3** times (since 12 x 3 = 36).
2. Subtract 36 from 43 to get a remainder of 7, then bring down the next digit (2).
3. Now you have 72; 12 goes into 72 **6** times (since 12 x 6 = 72).
4. Subtract 72 from 72 to reach a remainder of 0.
Thus, the overall answer is that 432 divided by 12 equals 36.
