Let’s walk through the steps to fully understand this calculation.

67 Divided by 12 Using Long Division

Here’s how to solve 67 ÷ 12 using the long division method:

  • Write 67 under the division bar and place 12 outside it.
  • Look at the first two digits, 67 (because 12 is larger than 6).
  • Check how many times 12 goes into 67:
  • 12 × 5 = 60
  • 12 × 6 = 72 (too high)
    So the first digit of the quotient is 5.
  • Subtract 60 from 67 → remainder 7.
  • Since there are no digits left, place a decimal point in the quotient and bring down a 0 → now the number is 70.
  • Check how many times 12 goes into 70:
  • 12 × 5 = 60
  • 12 × 6 = 72 (too high)
    So the next digit is 5.
  • Subtract 60 from 70 → remainder 10.
  • Bring down another 0 → now the number is 100.
  • Check how many times 12 goes into 100:
  • 12 × 8 = 96
  • 12 × 9 = 108 (too high)
    So the next digit is 8.
  • Subtract 96 from 100 → remainder 4.
  • Bring down another 0 → now the number is 40.
  • Divide 40 by 12:
  • 12 × 3 = 36
  • 12 × 4 = 48 (too high)
    So the next digit is 3.
  • Subtract 36 from 40 → remainder 4 again (the decimals will repeat).
  • Putting the digits together, we get 5.5833…

✅ Final Answer (Exact): 67 ÷ 12 = 5.5833…

As a mixed number: 5 remainder 7

Rounded to 2 decimals: 5.58

Using the Distributive Property

We can also split the number to understand the division better.

Formula:

(a+b)÷c=(a÷c)+(b÷c)

Break 67 into parts:

67 ÷ 12 = (60 ÷ 12) + (7 ÷ 12)

Now divide each term:

60 ÷ 12 = 5

7 ÷ 12 = 0.5833…

Add them together:

5 + 0.5833… = 5.5833…

This confirms the long division result.
