Certainly! Let's solve the division step-by-step to find the quotient and the remainder.
We have to divide 12000 by 3.
1. Divide the first digit:
- 3 goes into 1 zero times since 1 is smaller than 3.
- Write 0 above the 1.
2. Bring down the next digit:
- The next digit is 2, making it 12 when combined with the 1 from the initial step.
- 3 goes into 12 exactly 4 times.
- Write 4 above the 2 and subtract [tex]\(3 \times 4 = 12\)[/tex] from 12, which gives a remainder of 0.
3. Bring down the next digit:
- The next digit is 0.
- Combine it with the remainder 0 gives 0.
- 3 goes into 0 zero times.
- Write 0 above this digit.
4. Bring down the next digit:
- The next digit is another 0.
- Combine it with the remainder 0 gives 0.
- 3 goes into 0 zero times.
- Write 0 above this digit.
5. Bring down the last digit:
- The last digit is another 0.
- Combine it with the remainder 0 gives 0.
- 3 goes into 0 zero times.
- Write 0 above this digit.
So, when you write the quotient above the dividend, you get:
[tex]\[12000 \div 3 = 4000, remainder 0\][/tex]
Therefore, the quotient is 4000 and the remainder is 0.
