Answer 1

To divide 1956 by 47 using long division, we follow these steps:

1. **Set up the division**: Place 1956 under the long division symbol, and 47 outside of it.

2. **Determine how many times 47 can fit into the first part of 1956**:
- The first two digits "19" are too small since 47 is greater than 19.
- Consider "195". 47 goes into 195 about 4 times (since 47 * 4 = 188, and 47 * 5 = 235, which is too large).

3. **Subtract**:
- Write 188 below 195 and subtract:
\[
195 - 188 = 7
\]
- Bring down the next digit (6), making it 76.

4. **Divide**:
- Now see how many times 47 can fit into 76. It fits once (since 47 * 1 = 47).

5. **Subtract again**:
- Write 47 below 76 and subtract:
\[
76 - 47 = 29
\]

6. **Finalizing**:
- There are no more digits to bring down, so we note that our division gives us a quotient of 41 and a remainder of 29.

In summary, the division of 1956 by 47 using long division results in:
- Quotient = 41
- Remainder = 29

So, the answer is:

**B. The quotient has a remainder not equal to zero. The quotient is 41 R 29.**
