Answer 1

To divide 848 by 6, we can go through the long division process step by step.

1. **Set up the division**: Write 848 under the long division symbol and 6 outside it.

```
__________
6 | 848
```

2. **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
```

3. **Multiply and subtract**: Multiply 1 by 6, which equals 6. Write this below the 8 and subtract.

```
1
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
2
```

4. **Bring down the next digit**: Bring down the next digit of 848, which is 4. Now you have 24.

```
1
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
```

5. **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.

```
14
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
```

6. **Multiply and subtract**: Multiply 4 by 6, which equals 24. Write this below 24 and subtract.

```
14
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
- 24
-----
0
```

7. **Bring down the next digit**: Now, the last digit is 8. Bring it down next to the 0 (which gives you 08, or just 8).

```
14
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
- 24
-----
08
```

8. **Divide 8 by 6**: How many times does 6 go into 8? It goes 1 time. Write 1 above the division bar.

```
141
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
- 24
-----
08
```

9. **Multiply and subtract**: Multiply 1 by 6, which equals 6. Write this below 8 and subtract.

```
141
__________
6 | 848
- 6
-----
24
- 24
-----
08
- 6
-----
2
```

10. **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 \( 141.33 \).
