Let’s solve one more example when there is 0 in the Dividend:
60 ÷ 3 = ?
Here we will show you step-by-step with detailed
explanation how to calculate 60 divided by 3 using long
division.
Before you continue, note that in the problem 60 divided by
3, the numbers are defined as follows:
60 = dividend
3 = divisor
Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 3 on the left side and
the dividend 60 on the right side like this:
Step 2:
The divisor (3) goes into the first digit of the dividend (6), 2
time(s). Therefore, put 2 on top:
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (3 x 2
= 6) and write that answer below the dividend.
