To divide 848 by 6, we can go through the long division process step by step.
- Set up the division: Write 848 under the long division symbol and 6 outside it.
__________
6 | 848
- Divide the first digit: Look at the first digit (8). How many times does 6 go into 8? It goes 1 time. Write 1 above the division symbol.
1
__________
6 | 848
- Multiply and subtract: Multiply 1 by 6, which equals 6. Write this below the 8 and subtract.

24
- Divide 24 by 6: How many times does 6 go into 24? It goes 4 times. Write 4 above the division symbol next to the 1.

- Final result: Since there are no more digits to bring down, we now look at the remainder: 2.
So, the final result is:
- Quotient: 141
- Remainder: 2
This can be expressed as: \[ 848 \div 6 = 141 \text{ remainder } 2 \]
Alternatively, you can express it as: \[ 848 = 6 \times 141 + 2 \]
In decimal form, you can express the result as: \[ 848 \div 6 \approx 141.33 \]
Thus, \( 848 \div 6 = 141 \) with a remainder of \( 2 \) or approximately \( 141.33 \).
