Question

Choose the correct answer to 387 ÷ 12

32 R7

32 R 3

32

31 R 15

Answer 1

To solve \( 387 \div 12 \):

1. First, perform the division:
- \( 12 \) goes into \( 38 \) (the first two digits of 387) three times, since \( 12 \times 3 = 36 \).
- Subtract \( 36 \) from \( 38 \):
\[
38 - 36 = 2
\]
- Bring down the next digit \( 7 \) from \( 387 \), making it \( 27 \).

2. Now divide \( 27 \) by \( 12 \):
- \( 12 \) goes into \( 27 \) two times, since \( 12 \times 2 = 24 \).
- Subtract \( 24 \) from \( 27 \):
\[
27 - 24 = 3
\]

So, \( 387 \div 12 = 32 \) with a remainder of \( 3 \).

Thus, the correct answer is:

**32 R 3**
