Answer:
4 is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanations.
Start by setting it up with the divisor 15 on the left side and the dividend 60 on the right side like this:
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
Step 2:
The divisor (15) goes into the first digit of the dividend (6), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:
0
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (15 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.
0
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
0
Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (6 - 0 = 6) and write the answer below.
0
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
- 0
6
Step 5:
Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (0) like this:
0
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
- 0
6 0
Step 6:
The divisor (15) goes into the bottom number (60), 4 time(s). Therefore, put 4 on top:
0 4
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
- 0
6 0
Step 7:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (15 x 4 = 60) and write that answer at the bottom:
0 4
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
- 0
6 0
6 0
Step 8:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (60 - 60 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom.
0 4
1 5 ⟌ 6 0
- 0
6 0
- 6 0
0
You are done, because there are no more digits to move down from the dividend. So the answer is 4.
