Question

861 ÷3 show work for this problem please

Answer 1

861 divided by 3: 

How many times does 3 go into 8? 2 x 3 = 6 
Subtract 6 from 8 to get a remainder of 2, and bring down 6 to get 26. 

How many times does 3 go into 26? 8 x 3 = 24
Subtract 24 from 26 to get a remainder of 2, and bring down 1 to get 21. 

How many times does 3 go into 21? EXACTLY 7 times. 7 x 3 = 21

Collect all numbers in bold to get…. 287!

Therefore, 861 divided by 3 = 287.
