What is the quotient and remainder when 569 is divided by 6?

• A. 94 R 4
• B. 93 R 7
• C. 95 R 5
• D. 94 R 5

Answer: (D)

When you divide 569 by 6, you’re finding how many times 6 fits into 569 and what’s left over. Multiply 6 by 94 to see how close you can get: 6 × 94 = 564. Subtract from 569 to get the remainder: 569 − 564 = 5. If you tried one more 6, you’d have 570, which is too large for 569. So the quotient is 94 and the remainder is 5. Therefore the result is 94 with a remainder of 5.
