The process of dividing the dividend 720 by the divisor 2 can be visualized as follows:
720
÷ 2
----
720
- 360
-----------------
0
In this case, the result of the division is an integer with no remainder, resulting in the quotient 360.
The long division steps for 720 divided by 2 are as follows:
Dividend: 720
Divisor: 2
Step 1: Set up the division problem with the divisor on the left and the dividend on the right.
720
÷ 2
Step 2: Determine how many times the divisor can go into the dividend. In this case, the divisor (2) goes into 7 twice.
720
- 360
-----------------
0
Step 3: Multiply the divisor by the result from Step 2 and add it to the dividend.
720
- 360
-----------------
1800
Step 4: Subtract the result from Step 2 from the dividend and write it below.
720
- 360
-----------------
-180
Step 5: Move the next digit of the dividend down (if it has one).
720
- 360
-----------------
-180
-180
Step 6: Repeat Step 4 until there are no more digits in the dividend.
720
- 360
-----------------
-180
-180
-2
Final Answer: 360
Remainder: 0
As seen in the long division, the quotient when 720 is divided by 2 is 360 with a remainder of 0. This indicates that 360 is exactly half of 720.
