Question

what is the quotient?
4,860 ÷ 12 = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 48 by 12

$48 \div 12 = 4$

Step2: Bring down 6

Now we have 6, but since 6 is less than 12, we consider the next digit (0) to make 60.

Step3: Divide 60 by 12

$60 \div 12 = 5$

Step4: Combine the results

We had 4 (from 48 ÷ 12) in the hundreds and tens place, and 5 in the ones place? Wait, actually, let's do long division properly. 4860 ÷ 12: 12 × 400 = 4800, subtract 4800 from 4860, we get 60. Then 60 ÷ 12 = 5. So total is 400 + 5 = 405. Wait, maybe a better way: 4860 ÷ 12 = (4800 + 60) ÷ 12 = 4800 ÷ 12 + 60 ÷ 12 = 400 + 5 = 405.

Answer:

405
