Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (171).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (6).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 171 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 171.

Step 3: Perform the Division

171 ÷ 6=28.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 28 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 171).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

28 x 6 = 168

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

171 - 168 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

171 ÷ 6 = 28 R 3

  • 6 fits into 171 exactly 28 times with a remainder of 3.
