Show how you can use reapeted subtraction to find 84:6

84-14-14-14-14-14-14

Repeated subtraction:

84 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 = 0

Answer:

14 (see explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication is just repeated addition shortened into an operation (__ x __). For example, 6 x 3 is 6 + 6 + 6 = 18. Same thing with division. However, with division, it's a little different. You need to subtract the smaller number from the bigger one until you reach zero:

84 : 6

84 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6 = 0

How many times did you subtract six from 84 to get 0? That is the answer to 84 : 6. That would be 14.
