To find the answer to the division problem 78 ÷ 34, you need to divide the numerator (78) by the denominator (34). The quotient is the result of the division.
When you divide two numbers, you can either do the long division method or use a calculator.
Using the long division method:
1. First, write down the dividend (78) and the divisor (34).
78 ÷ 34
2. Starting from left to right, divide the first digit of the dividend (7) by the divisor (34). Since 7 is smaller than 34, you will write 0 above the line as the first digit of the quotient. Bring down the next digit (8) to the right of the 0.
78 ÷ 34 = 0
3. Now, divide the new dividend (8) by the divisor (34). Once again, 8 is smaller than 34, so you will write another 0 above the line.
78 ÷ 34 = 0
4. Bring down the next digit (0) to the right of the 0 in the quotient.
78 ÷ 34 = 00
5. Divide the new dividend (0) by the divisor (34). Since 0 is smaller than 34, you write another 0 above the line.
78 ÷ 34 = 00
6. Finally, bring down the last digit (0) to the right of the 00 in the quotient.
78 ÷ 34 = 000
At this point, you have completed the division process, and the quotient is 000, which is equivalent to 0. So, 78 ÷ 34 equals 0.
Therefore, none of the options listed (2132, 21/32, 6/7, 3221) is the correct answer. The correct answer is 0.
