What Is 80 Divided By 4?

To solve $80 \div 4$, we’ll use the short division method — a fast and efficient strategy ideal for small divisors and larger dividends.

Understanding the Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided ($80$)
  • Divisor: The number you’re dividing by ($4$)
  • Quotient: The result of the division
  • Remainder: What’s left over, if anything

Step-by-Step: $80 \div 4$

Step 1: Divide 4 into 8

$$ 8 \div 4 = 2 $$

Write $2$ above the digit $8$.

Step 2: Divide 4 into 0

$$ 0 \div 4 = 0 $$

Write $0$ above the digit $0$.

Final Answer

Putting the digits together:

$$ \boxed{80 \div 4 = 20} $$

Check Your Work

Verify by multiplying the quotient by the divisor:

$$ 4 \times 20 = 80 $$

✅ The product equals the dividend, so the division is correct.

Summary

To divide $80$ by $4$ using short division:

  1. Divide each digit of the dividend in turn by the divisor.
  2. Write the resulting quotient above the corresponding digit.
