Solution Steps

00:00 Solve
00:03 Let's start by dividing the leftmost digit by the divisor
00:08 Write the result above
00:11 Now multiply the result by the divisor
00:16 Subtract the product from the digit
00:19 Now bring down the next digit below and use the same steps
00:23 Divide
00:26 Write the result above
00:29 Multiply the result, subtract
00:36 We got 0, meaning there is no remainder
00:39 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 39÷339 \div 3, we will apply long division:

  • Step 1: Set up the division problem.
    Write 39 inside the division bracket and 3 outside as the divisor.
  • Step 2: Divide the first digit of the dividend by the divisor.
    Determine how many times 3 fits into 3 (the first digit of 39):
    3 fits into 3 exactly 1 time. Write 1 above the line.
  • Step 3: Multiply and subtract.
    Multiply 3 (divisor) by the result from the previous step (1), giving 3.
    Subtract 3 from 3, resulting in 0.
  • Step 4: Bring down the next digit of the dividend.
    Bring down 9 (the next digit from 39). The new number to consider is 9.
  • Step 5: Divide the result by the divisor.
    Determine how many times 3 fits into 9: 3 fits into 9 exactly 3 times. Write 3 above the line.
  • Step 6: Multiply and subtract again.
    Multiply 3 by 3, which gives 9. Subtract 9 from 9, resulting in 0.

The division process is complete with no remainder. The quotient is 13.

The final answer is 13\boxed{13}.
