Evaluate x divided by y for x=72 and y=4

The answer for X divided by Y if X=72 and Y=4 is 18. We can Step 1:

Start by setting it up with the divisor 4 on the left side and the dividend 72 on the right side like this:

     4  ⟌  7  2  

Step 2:

The divisor (4) goes into the first digit of the dividend (7), 1 time(s). Therefore, put 1 on top:

           1      

     4  ⟌  7  2  

Step 3:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (4 x 1 = 4) and write that answer below the dividend.

           1      

     4  ⟌  7  2  

           4      

Step 4:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (7 - 4 = 3) and write the answer below.

           1      

     4  ⟌  7  2  

       -  4      

           3      

Step 5:

Move down the 2nd digit of the dividend (2) like this:

           1      

     4  ⟌  7  2  

       -  4      

           3  2  

Step 6:

The divisor (4) goes into the bottom number (32), 8 time(s). Therefore, put 8 on top:

           1  8  

     4  ⟌  7  2  

       -  4      

           3  2  

Step 7:

Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (4 x 8 = 32) and write that answer at the bottom:

         1 8  

           4 ⟌72  

       - 4      

          3 2  

          3 2  

Step 8:

Subtract the result in the previous step from the number written above it. (32 - 32 = 0) and write the answer at the bottom.

          1 8  

         4 ⟌ 7 2  

       -4      

         3 2  

       - 3 2  

              0
