To divide 6,394 by 42, we can start with the long division:
1. **First, estimate** how many times 42 fits into the first few digits of 6,394.
2. 42 goes into 63 (the first two digits of 6,394) about 1 time.
3. Multiply: 42 × 1 = 42. Subtract: 63 - 42 = 21. Bring down the next digit (9) to make it 219.
4. 42 goes into 219 about 5 times.
5. Multiply: 42 × 5 = 210. Subtract: 219 - 210 = 9. Bring down the next digit (4) to make it 94.
6. 42 goes into 94 about 2 times.
7. Multiply: 42 × 2 = 84. Subtract: 94 - 84 = 10.
So, we have:
- Quotient: 152
- Remainder: 10
This means:
6,394 ÷ 42 = 152 with a remainder of 10, which can also be expressed as 152 10/42.
Thus, the answer is **D: 152 10/42**.
