Long Division Problem: Dividing 648 by 12 Step-by-Step

To solve the division problem $\frac{648}{12}$, we'll use the long division method. Here's each step broken down:

• Step 1: Begin by writing 648 under the division bar and 12 outside the bar.
• Step 2: Determine how many times 12 fits into the first digit, 6. Since 12 is greater than 6, check the first two digits together, 64.
• Step 3: Determine how many times 12 goes into 64. The answer is 5, because $12 \times 5 = 60$, which is less than 64. Write 5 above the division bar.
• Step 4: Subtract 60 from 64, leaving a remainder of 4. Carry down the next digit, 8, to get 48.
• Step 5: Determine how many times 12 goes into 48. The answer is 4, since $12 \times 4 = 48$.
• Step 6: Subtract 48 from 48, leaving a remainder of 0.

The quotient of $\frac{648}{12}$ is, therefore, 54.

Thus, the solution to the problem is $54$.
