Question

Use repeated subtraction to divide 72 and 4

Answer 1

To divide 72 by 4 using repeated subtraction, subtract 4 from 72 until the result becomes 0. The process yields 18 as the quotient.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide 72 by 4 using repeated subtraction, we start by subtracting 4 from 72: 72 - 4 = 68. We continue subtracting 4 from the result until we can no longer do so.

68 - 4 = 64

64 - 4 = 60

60 - 4 = 56

56 - 4 = 52

52 - 4 = 48

48 - 4 = 44

44 - 4 = 40

40 - 4 = 36

36 - 4 = 32

32 - 4 = 28

28 - 4 = 24

24 - 4 = 20

20 - 4 = 16

16 - 4 = 12

12 - 4 = 8

8 - 4 = 4

4 - 4 = 0

Therefore, 72 divided by 4 is equal to 18.

Answer 2

You can divide it by itself and get the answer 4 dividend by 72 which equals 18 with a remainder 0
