Here we will show you step-by-step with detailed explanation how to calculate 9 divided by 42 using long division.
Before you continue, note that in the problem 9 divided by 42, the numbers are defined as follows:
9 = dividend
42 = divisor
Step 1:
Start by setting it up with the divisor 42 on the left side and the dividend 9 on the right side like this:
| 4 | 2 | ⟌ | 9 |
Step 2:
The divisor (42) goes into the first digit of the dividend (9), 0 time(s). Therefore, put 0 on top:
| 0 | ||||||
| 4 | 2 | ⟌ | 9 |
Step 3:
Multiply the divisor by the result in the previous step (42 x 0 = 0) and write that answer below the dividend.
| 0 | ||||||
| 4 | 2 | ⟌ | 9 | |||
| 0 |
Step 4:
Subtract the result in the previous step from the first digit of the dividend (9 - 0 = 9) and write the answer below.
| 0 | ||||||
| 4 | 2 | ⟌ | 9 | |||
| - | 0 | |||||
| 9 |
You are done.
The answer is the top number and the remainder is the bottom number.
