Given the numerical statement:

28 divided by 12.

Solution:

In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 28, and it is divided by 12 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.

= 28/12

= 2.333…

Since we have a repeating decimal, we can either designate it with a word repeating enclosed with a  parenthesis, a dash line or an ellipsis. In our case we will use the ellipsis.

Final answer:

= 2.333…
