To perform the division of 12 and 56, you need to divide the first number (called the dividend) by the second number (called the divisor). In this case, 12 is the dividend and 56 is the divisor.
When you divide 12 by 56, the quotient is the result of the division, which represents how many times the divisor can fit into the dividend evenly.
To find the quotient, you can use long division method or a calculator:
Long Division Method:
1. Write 12 as the dividend and 56 as the divisor.
2. Begin by dividing the first digit of the dividend (1) by the divisor (56). Since 1 is less than 56, the quotient will be 0.
3. Bring down the next digit of the dividend (2). Now you have 12 as the new dividend.
4. Divide 12 by 56. Since 12 is still less than 56, the quotient for this step will also be 0.
5. Continue bringing down the next digit of the dividend until there are no more digits left.
6. Once you finish dividing, the final quotient is the result.
Using a Calculator:
1. Use the division operator (/) on your calculator.
2. Enter 12 as the dividend.
3. Press the division operator (/).
4. Enter 56 as the divisor.
5. Press the equals (=) button.
6. The result displayed on your calculator will be the quotient.
Therefore, when you divide 12 by 56, the quotient is 0.21 (rounded to two decimal places).
