Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (47).
  • 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 47 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 47.

Step 3: Perform the Division

47 ÷ 6=7.8333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 47).

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:

47 - 42 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

47 ÷ 6 = 7 R 5

  • 6 fits into 47 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 5.
