To divide 72 by 3, follow these steps:

Step 1: Place the dividend (the number being divided) 72 inside the long division bracket.

Step 2: Place the divisor (the number dividing the dividend) 3 outside the long division bracket.

Step 3: Start with the leftmost digit of the dividend, which is 7. Determine how many times the divisor (3) can be divided into this digit. In this case, 3 can be divided into 7 two times.

Step 4: Write the result (2) above the division bracket, directly atop the 7 in the dividend.

Step 5: Multiply the result (2) by the divisor (3). 2 multiplied by 3 equals 6.

Step 6: Subtract the result of the multiplication (6) from the leftmost digit of the dividend (7). This gives us 7 - 6 = 1.

Step 7: Bring down the next digit from the dividend. In this case, bring down the digit 2 from 72.

Step 8: Determine how many times the divisor (3) can be divided into the new number created by bringing down the digit 2. In this case, 3 can be divided into 12 four times.

Step 9: Write the result (4) above the division bracket, directly above the 2 in the dividend.

Step 10: Multiply the result (4) by the divisor (3). 4 multiplied by 3 equals 12.

Step 11: Subtract the result of the multiplication (12) from the new number created by bringing down the digit 2. This gives us 12 - 12 = 0.

Step 12: There are no more digits to bring down, so the division process is complete.

Step 13: The final result is the quotient or answer, which is 24.

Therefore, 72 divided by 3 equals 24.

Answer 3

To solve the division problem 72 ÷ 3, you need to divide 72 by 3. Here's how you can do it:

1. Start with the dividend, which is the number you are dividing. In this case, the dividend is 72.
2. Write the division symbol (÷) to indicate that you are performing division.
3. Write the divisor, which is the number you are dividing by. In this case, the divisor is 3.
4. Begin the division process by dividing the first digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (3). The result is 2 with a remainder of 1.
5. Write the quotient (the result of the division) above the division line. In this case, the quotient is 2.
6. Take the remainder (1) and bring it down next to the next digit of the dividend (2) to form the new dividend 12.
7. Repeat the division process with the new dividend (12) and the divisor (3). The result is 4 with no remainder.
8. Write the new quotient (4) above the division line.
9. Since there are no more digits in the dividend, the division process is complete.
10. The final quotient is 24.

Therefore, 72 ÷ 3 = 24.
