The answer to 127 divided by 2 is 63.5. This means that when you split 127 into 2 equal parts, each part will be 63.5. In this case, 127 doesn’t divide evenly into whole numbers, so we get a result with a decimal.

Let’s break the division down step-by-step.

127 Divided by 2 Using Long Division

Here’s how to solve 127 ÷ 2 using the long division method:

  • Set up the division: Write 127 under the division bar and place 2 outside.
  • How many times does 2 go into 12?
    2 goes into 12 exactly 6 times (2 × 6 = 12).
  • Subtract 12 from 12: 12 − 12 = 0.
  • Bring down the next digit (7): Now you have 7.
  • 2 goes into 7 exactly 3 times (2 × 3 = 6).
  • Subtract 6 from 7: 7 − 6 = 1.
  • Add a decimal point:
    Since we still have a remainder of 1, we can continue the division by adding a decimal point and a 0.
  • Bring down a 0, making it 10.
    2 goes into 10 exactly 5 times (2 × 5 = 10).
  • Subtract 10 from 10: 10 − 10 = 0.

Final Answer: 127 ÷ 2 = 63.5.

The division is complete, and there is no remainder.

Using the Distributive Property

We can also break 127 into parts to make the division easier. The distributive property says:

(a+b)÷c=(a÷c)+(b÷c)

Let’s break 127 into 120 and 7 (both easy multiples of 2):

127=120+7

Now divide each part by 2:

120÷2=60

7÷2=3.5

Add them together:

60+3.5=63.5

This matches the long division result.
