The answer to 141 divided by 3 is 47. This means if you split 141 into 3 equal parts, each part will be 47. Division allows us to separate a total into equal groups, and in this case, 141 divides perfectly by 3 with no remainder.
Let’s explore how to solve this using different methods.
141 ÷ 3 Using Long Division
To solve 141 ÷ 3 using the long division method:
- Write 141 under the division bar and 3 outside it.
- Check how many times 3 goes into the first digit, 1.
- It doesn’t go into 1, so move to the first two digits.
- Consider 14.
- 3 × 4 = 12 and 3 × 5 = 15 (too high), so use 4.
- Subtract 12 from 14 → remainder 2.
- Bring down the next digit (1) → making 21.
- 3 × 7 = 21 exactly → write 7 above the bar.
- Subtract 21 → remainder 0.
- The quotient is 47, so 141 ÷ 3 = 47.
Using the Distributive Property
You can also solve this using the distributive property, which makes division easier by breaking numbers into simpler parts.
Formula:
(a+b)÷c=(a÷c)+(b÷c)
Break 141 into 120 and 21:
141÷3=(120÷3)+(21÷3)
Now divide each part:
120÷3=40, 21÷3=7
Add the results:
40+7=47
Thus, 141 ÷ 3 = 47, confirming our answer again.
