Solve the following problem using any method you prefer (traditional, partial, or box) 720 ÷ 60 =

Answer 1

To solve the division problem \( 720 \div 60 \), we can use a traditional method.

First, let's simplify the numbers:

1. Rewrite the division as a fraction: \[ \frac{720}{60} \]

2. Simplify the fraction: Let's divide both the numerator (720) and the denominator (60) by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 720 and 60 is 60.

3. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 60: \[ \frac{720 \div 60}{60 \div 60} = \frac{12}{1} = 12 \]

Thus, the result of \( 720 \div 60 \) is: \[ \boxed{12} \]

To confirm the answer, we can multiply back: \[ 12 \times 60 = 720 \] This verifies that our solution is correct. The final answer is \( \boxed{12} \).
