To perform long division for \( 369 \div 3 \):
-
Setup: Write 369 under the long division bar and 3 outside of it.
-
Divide:
- Determine how many times 3 goes into the first digit of 369, which is 3. It goes 1 time.
- Write 1 above the long division bar.
-
Multiply:
- Multiply 1 (the quotient) by 3 (the divisor) which gives you 3.
- Write 3 underneath the 3 of 369.
-
Subtract:
- Subtract 3 from 3, which is 0.
- Bring down the next digit, which is 6. Now you have 06.
-
Repeat the process:
- Determine how many times 3 goes into 6. It goes 2 times.
- Write 2 above the long division bar (next to the 1).
- Multiply 2 by 3 to get 6 and write 6 under the 6.
- Subtract 6 from 6, which gives you 0.
- Bring down the next digit, which is 9. Now you have 09.
-
Last division:
- Determine how many times 3 goes into 9. It goes 3 times.
- Write 3 above the long division bar (next to the 12).
- Multiply 3 by 3 to get 9 and write it under the 9.
- Subtract 9 from 9, which gives you 0.
Now, there are no more digits to bring down, so the process is complete.
The final answer is \( 369 \div 3 = 123 \).
