Find the remainder left if 572 is divided by 6?

Answer 1

6 will go into 57, 9 times.

9 x 6 is 54. 57-54 = 3.

The remainder is 3. This remainder gets paired with 2 to form the new dividend, 20

6 will go into 30, 5 times, 6 x 5 = 30, 32-30 = 2. The remainder is 2. After the 2, a decimal is placed before pairing the 2 with 0 to form the dividend 20.

6 will go into 20, 3 times, 6 x 3 = 18, 20-18 = 2. The remainder is 2. Notice at this point, the number 2 will keep repeating.

Therefore, the answer of the remainder of 572 divided by 6 is 2.

Answer 2

Question: What is the remainder of 572 divided by 6?

Answer: We will be using lond division to check what the remainder is.

____________

6) 572

Step 1) Look at the first number and see if there is a multiple of 6 that can be subtracted from it.

5 is less than 6 so we will have to look at the first two numbers.

Step 2) Check the first two numbers. Choose a multiple of 6 that is either 57 or below. We know 6 times 9 is 54 which is the closest to 57 we get. We subtract the 54 from 57 and write the 9 in the top.

9

_____

6) 572

(-)54

––––––

32(We bring down the 2 after subtracting)

Step 3) We check which multiple of 6 is the either 32 or closest to 32. We know 6 times 5 is 30. So we subtract 30 from 32 and write the 5 at the top.

95 ← Quotient (answer to a division problem)

_____

6) 572

(-)54

––––––

32

30

2 ← Remainder ( what is left over after dividing)

Step 4) Identify the quotient and remainder. After divding 572 by 6, we find that the quotient is 95 and the remainder is 2.
