Divide: [tex]62 \div 5[/tex]

A. [tex]12 \quad R \, 4[/tex]
B. [tex]13 \quad R \, 3[/tex]
C. [tex]12 \quad R \, 2[/tex]
D. [tex]14[/tex]

Answer :

Sure! Let's divide 62 by 5 and find the quotient and remainder step by step.

1. Understand the Problem: We need to divide 62 by 5 and determine how many times 5 goes into 62, as well as the leftover part, called the remainder.

2. Perform the Division:
- First, see how many times 5 can fit into the first part of 62. 5 can go into 6 one time because 5 × 1 = 5.
- Subtract 5 from 6, which gives us 1.
- Bring down the next digit, which is 2, making it 12.

3. Continue Dividing:
- Now check how many times 5 can fit into 12. 5 can go into 12 two times because 5 × 2 = 10.
- Subtract 10 from 12, which gives us 2.

4. Result:
- The quotient is the number of whole times 5 fits into 62, which is 12.
- The leftover part, which is the remainder, is 2.

So, when you divide 62 by 5, you get 12 with a remainder of 2. Therefore, the answer is [tex]\(12 \, \text{R} \, 2\)[/tex].
