Question

find the quotient: 714 ÷ 42 =

Explanation:

Step1: Divide 71 by 42

71 divided by 42 is 1, with a remainder of \(71 - 42\times1 = 29\).

Step2: Bring down the 4

We now have 294.

Step3: Divide 294 by 42

\(294\div42 = 7\), with no remainder.

Step4: Combine the results

The first digit was 1 and the second is 7, so the quotient is \(1\times10 + 7 = 17\).

Answer:

17
