Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Set up the division of 617617 by 66.
  • Step 2: Perform the long division to find the quotient and remainder.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: We start by setting up the division as follows: place 66 outside the division symbol and 617617 inside.

Step 2: Perform the division:

  • Divide the first digit 66 by 66, which gives 11. Thus, the first digit of the quotient is 11. Subtract 6×1=66 \times 1 = 6 from 66, resulting in 00. Bring down the next digit, which is 11, giving us 0101.
  • Since 66 does not divide into 11 (or 0101), we place a 00 in the quotient and bring down the next digit, 77, making it 1717.
  • Divide 1717 by 66, which gives 22 as the quotient digit. Subtract 6×2=126 \times 2 = 12 from 1717, resulting in 55.

The quotient is 102102 and the remainder is 55.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 102 102 with a remainder of 55.

Answer

102 102 with a remainder of 5
