168 Divided by 6 Using Long Division
Here’s how to solve 168 ÷ 6 using the long division method:
- Write 168 under the division bar and 6 outside it.
- Check how many times 6 goes into the first digit (1).
- It cannot, so move to the first two digits.
- Check how many times 6 goes into 16.
- 6 × 2 = 12
- 6 × 3 = 18 (too high)
- So the correct value is 2.
- Subtract 12 from 16 → remainder 4
- Bring down the next digit (8) → now the number is 48.
- 6 × 8 = 48
- Subtract 48 from 48 → 0
- Combine the quotient digits: 28
✅ Final Answer: 168 ÷ 6 = 28
There is no remainder, as 6 divides 168 evenly.
Using the Distributive Property
We can also solve the division using the distributive property.
Formula:
(a+b)÷c=(a÷c)+(b÷c)
Split 168 into easy-to-divide parts:
168÷6=(120÷6)+(48÷6)
Now divide each part:
120 ÷ 6 = 20
48 ÷ 6 = 8
Add them together:
20+8=28
So, 168 ÷ 6 = 28, confirming the same result as the long division method.
