Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (42).
- 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 42 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 42.
Step 3: Perform the Division
42 ÷ 6=7
- Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 42).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
7 x 6 = 42
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
42 - 42 = 0
- Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
42 ÷ 6 = 7 R 0
- 6 fits into 42 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 0.
