The same division can be written three ways. Drag them from the most common form first to the least common.
Fraction bar: \(\dfrac{12}{4} = 3\)
Division symbol: \(12 \div 4 = 3\)
Long division bracket: \(4\overline{)12}\)
Correct Answer
(1) Division symbol: \(12 \div 4 = 3\)
(2) Long division bracket: \(4\overline{)12}\)
(3) Fraction bar: \(\dfrac{12}{4} = 3\)
Explanation
All three represent the same division. The ÷ symbol is the most common for simple expressions, the long division bracket is used for multi-step division algorithms, and the fraction bar is common in algebra and fractions.
