Woah that looks hard and if no one answers just search it up
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.
In order to find this out, let's convert both of them into percents. Since 17.5 is already a percent, we only have to convert 1/6 into a percent. To convert 1/6 into a percent, you have to divide the numerator by the denominator. If you do that, you will get 0.1666..... as a repeating decimal. Now, multiply the decimal by 100 or just move the decimal 2 spaces to the right to get the percent. If you do that, you will get 16.6%. Since it is a repeating decimal, you can round it to 16.7%. So, 17.5% is larger than 1/6.
Hope it helps :)
The different is that 21 is going ALL the way down to 21 while 4 is only going to 4..
