To convert the percentage 1230% into a decimal using long division, you follow these steps:

  1. Understand that dividing by 100 effectively moves the decimal point two places to the left.

  2. Start with 1230. To convert it to a decimal, you divide it by 100.

Here is how the long division looks:

1230 รท 100
-----------
  12.30

Steps for long division:

  1. 100 goes into 1230 twelve times (100 * 12 = 1200).
  2. Subtract 1200 from 1230, which leaves you with 30.
  3. Bring down two zeros (since we are dividing by 100) after the decimal point.
  4. 100 goes into 300 three times (100 * 3 = 300).
  5. Subtract 300 from 300, leaving you with 0.

Thus, 1230 divided by 100 equals 12.30, which simplifies to 12.3 in decimal form.

The answer is: 12.3
