A. 36 R 1
B. 36 R 3
C. 37 R 1
D. 37 R 3

Answer :

To solve [tex]\( 223 \div 6 \)[/tex] and find the quotient and remainder, follow these steps:

1. Divide the numbers:
Start by dividing 223 by 6. Determine how many times 6 fits into 223 without exceeding it.

2. Calculate the quotient:
6 goes into 22 three times (because 6 x 3 = 18), and the remainder is 4 (since 22 - 18 = 4). Bring down the next digit, which is 3, to make it 43. Then, see how many times 6 fits into 43. 6 goes into 43 seven times (because 6 x 7 = 42), and the remainder is 1 (since 43 - 42 = 1).

3. Write the answer:
The total number of times 6 fits into 223 is 37 times, and the remainder is 1.

Therefore, when dividing 223 by 6, the quotient is 37, and the remainder is 1. The answer is:

C) 37 R 1
