To solve \( 432 \div 12 \), we need to determine how many times 12 fits into 432.
Performing the division:
-
Divide 43 (the first two digits of 432) by 12.
- 12 goes into 43 three times (since \( 12 \times 3 = 36 \)).
- Subtract \( 36 \) from \( 43 \): \( 43 - 36 = 7 \).
-
Bring down the next digit (which is 2), making it 72.
-
Now divide 72 by 12.
- 12 goes into 72 six times (since \( 12 \times 6 = 72 \)).
- Subtract \( 72 \) from \( 72 \): \( 72 - 72 = 0 \).
Putting it all together, \( 432 \div 12 = 36 \).
So, the correct answer to \( 432 \div 12 \) is \( 36 \).
