How do you divide 162 by 6 using partial quotients?

Back

You can subtract 60 (10 times 6) from 162, which gives you 102. Then subtract 60 again (10 times 6), giving you 42. Then subtract 36 (6 times 6), giving you 6. Finally, you can subtract 6 (1 time 6), leaving you with 0. The total is 10 + 10 + 6 + 1 = 27.
