Answer:

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.
