Answer: Insert a 6. The number divisible by 12 is 1464

Step-by-step explanation: Start by dividing 12 into the first two digits.

I am using old-fashioned long division.

1 2

12 ) 14 6

-12

26. this is the remainder, The next digit has to be a number that when divided by 12 will leave a remainder, that when paired with 4, will be evenly divisible by 12.

6 is that number . When you "bring down" the 6, you will be dividing 26÷12. a 2 goes into the quotient, and in the next step 24 is subtracted from 26; the remainder is 2.

Bring down the 4 and divide 12 into 24. The result is 2 as the quotient. 2 ×12 =24 . 24- 24 is 0

1464 ÷ 12 = 122
