Question

336 divided by 12 using partial quotients

Answer 1

The partial quotients are 20 and 8. The quotient is 28.

Explanation:

The dividend is 336 and divisor is 12.

Find the easy factors of 12, which are less than 336.

`12* 10=120`

`12* 20=240`

`12* 30=360`

Since 360>336, therefore 30 cannot be a partial quotient.

So, 20 is a partial quotient. Subtract 240 from 336. Apply this process till the dividend become 0.

The remaining dividend is

`336-240=96`

Find the easy factors of 12, which are less than 96.

`12* 8=96`

The number 8 is a partial quotient.

`96-96=0`

Now the dividend is zero, so the partial quotients are 20 and 8. The quotient is the sum of partial quotients

`20+8=28`

The quotient is 28.
