What Is 80 Divided By 3?

To solve $80 \div 3$, we’ll use the short division method, a quick and efficient technique when working with small divisors and larger dividends.

Understanding the Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided ($80$)
  • Divisor: The number you’re dividing by ($3$)
  • Quotient: The result of the division
  • Remainder: What’s left over if the division isn’t exact

Step-by-Step: $80 \div 3$

Step 1: Divide $3$ into $8$

$$ 8 \div 3 = 2\text{ R }2 $$

Write $2$ above the $8$ and carry the remainder $2$ to the next digit.

Step 2: Divide $3$ into $20$

$$ 20 \div 3 = 6\text{ R }2 $$

Write $6$ above the $0$ and keep the final remainder $2$.

Final Answer

The division of $80$ by $3$ gives:

$$ \boxed{80 \div 3 = 26\ \text{r}2} $$

Check Your Answer

Multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder:

$$ 3 \times 26 = 78 \ 78 + 2 = 80 $$

✅ The result matches the original dividend.

Summary

To divide $80$ by $3$ using short division:

  1. Divide each digit from left to right.
  2. Carry any remainder to the next digit.
  3. Record the quotient and any final remainder.

So:

$$ \boxed{80 \div 3 = 26\ \text{remainder }2} $$
