What is 36 Divided by 3?

Answer – 36 divided by 3 is 12.

Explanation: 

When 36 is divided by 3, 36 is the dividend (the number being divided) and 3 is the divisor (the number by which the dividend is divided).

  • Write the dividend (36) inside the long division symbol and the divisor (3) outside it.
  • The aim is to carry out the division until the remainder is 0.
  • Divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (3). The result is 1, which is the first digit of the quotient.
  • Multiply the quotient digit (1) by the divisor (3) to get the product (3).
  • Subtract the product (3) from the first digit of the dividend (3) to get the remainder (0).
  • Bring down the next digit of the dividend (6) to the right of the remainder (0) to get the new dividend (06).
  • Repeat steps 3-5 with the new dividend (06). Divide 6 by 3 to get 2, which is the second digit of the quotient. Multiply 2 by 3 to get 6, and subtract 6 from 6 to get a remainder of 0.
  • Since there are no more digits to bring down, the division is complete. The final quotient is 12, and there is no remainder.

Therefore, 36 divided by 3 is equal to 12.
