How to divide 5 by 6 using long division and find the remainder?

Answer

5 ÷ 6 = 0 remainder 5

= 0.83 ≈ 0.83

5 is less than 6, so the whole part is 0 and all of 5 is the remainder. Check: 0 × 6 + 5 = 5.

5 ÷ 6 in a column

0
65
−0
5

In the column: quotient 0, remainder 5.

Step by step: 5 ÷ 6

  1. Step 15 < 6 → 0
  2. Quotient and remainder0 remainder 5

After the point, add a zero to the remainder: 50 ÷ 6 → 8, remainder 2; 20 ÷ 6 → 3, remainder 2; remainder 2 again — the digits repeat.

5 ÷ 6 = 0.83 ≈ 0.83
