Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow the steps of long division to divide 9120 by 3:

Step 1: Divide the thousands place:
- 3 goes into 9 three times. Multiply 3 by 3 to get 9. Subtract 9 from 9 to get 0.

Step 2: Bring down the next digit (1):
- 3 goes into 1 zero times. Multiply 3 by 0 to get 0. Subtract 0 from 1 to keep 1.

Step 3: Bring down the next digit (2):
- Now divide 12 by 3, which equals 4. Multiply 3 by 4 to get 12. Subtract 12 from 12 to get 0.

Step 4: Finally, bring down the last digit (0):
- 3 goes into 0 zero times. Thus, the result of this step is 0.

Therefore, the quotient when 9120 is divided by 3 is $3040$ .
