Alright, let's work through the division of 66 by 9 step by step:
1. Set up the division: Place 66 inside the long division symbol and 9 outside.
2. Divide the first digit: Look at the first digit of 66, which is 6. Since 9 cannot go into 6, we consider the first two digits together, which is 66.
3. Divide 66 by 9:
- Determine how many times 9 can go into 66 without exceeding it.
- 9 times 7 is 63, and 9 times 8 is 72. Since 72 is larger than 66, we use 7 because 7 is the largest whole number that does not cause the product to exceed 66.
4. Multiply and subtract:
- Multiply 9 by 7 to get 63.
- Subtract 63 from 66 to get the remainder.
5. Calculate the remainder:
- 66 minus 63 equals 3.
Therefore, after performing the division of 66 by 9, we find that the quotient is 7 and the remainder is 3. So, the final result of the division is:
- Quotient: 7
- Remainder: 3
