Question

OK so I need to know what 96÷6 is and I know it is 16 but I need to know how to do it in long division can anyone help me

Answer 1

16

Explanation:

You have to take each number in the dividend (number being divided) and divide it by the number in the divisor (number that is dividing). Here you would take 9, the first number in the dividend and divide it by 6, and you would put that in the first space of the quotient (answer). You would then take that number and multiply it by 6 and place it in the space below. Subtract 6 from 9 and get 3. Drop down the 6 to get 36. Take 36 and divide that by the divisor 6 and get 6 next to the number 1 you calculated earlier to get your answer 16. Take 6 and multiply it back to get 36 and subtract it from 36 to get a remainder of 0.

I showed how to do it visually in the attachment just in case this explanation didn't make any sense

Answer 2

16

____________

6| 96

-6 |

V

36

- 36

0

6 goes into 9 one time because 9-6=3 so there is 1 six in 9. Write 1 at the top because you have 1 6.

Subtract the 6 and you get 3

Bring the 6 from 96 down

you get 36

6 goes into 36 6 times because 36-6-6-6-6-6-6=0 so write a 6 at the top and you get 16 because of the previous 1.

Subtract 36 by 36 to get 0

Hope this helps
