Dividing by 12

Dividing by 12 looks like a big step, but it comes up a lot: hours, months, eggs by the dozen. With halving it becomes dividing by 6.

Dividing by 12

Trick

Halve first, then divide by 6. 84 ÷ 12: half of 84 is 42, and 42 ÷ 6 = 7.

Watch out

Only even numbers divide by 12. The biggest sum is 144 ÷ 12 = 12.
