Final answer:

After dividing 473 Legos into 6 groups using long division, Gina will have 5 pieces left, which she will give to her friend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gina has 473 pieces of Legos and she wants to divide them into 6 groups. To find out how many pieces Gina will give to her friend, we must perform a long division on 473 by 6.

Here are the steps for the long division:

  1. Divide the first digit of 473 (which is 4) by 6. Since 4 is less than 6, we cannot divide it. So, we consider the first two digits '47'.
  2. Divide 47 by 6, which goes 7 times (since 7 * 6 = 42) leaving a remainder of 5.
  3. Bring down the next digit which is 3, making the number 53.
  4. Divide 53 by 6, which goes 8 times (since 8 * 6 = 48) leaving a remainder of 5.
  5. Since there are no more digits to bring down, the remainder of 5 represents the pieces of Legos Gina's friend will get.

Therefore, Gina will give her friend 5 pieces of Legos as the leftover after dividing 473 Legos into 6 equal groups.

Answer:

Gina's friend will get 5 pieces of legos

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do long division it should look like this


\sqrt[6]{473} = 78

then if you multiply 78 you get 468

473-468=5
