39
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is ( 39 ).
Steps to Solve
- Set up the division operation
We need to divide 156 by 4 to find out how many times 4 fits into 156. This can be written as:
$$ 156 \div 4 $$
- Perform the division
To perform the division, we can break it down into simpler steps. Start dividing:
- 4 goes into 15 (the first two digits of 156) three times because $4 \times 3 = 12$.
- Subtract 12 from 15: $$ 15 - 12 = 3 $$
- Bring down the next digit
Now, we have 36 (the next digit is 6). Now we divide 36 by 4:
- 4 goes into 36 nine times because $4 \times 9 = 36$.
- Subtract 36 from 36:
$$ 36 - 36 = 0 $$
- Combine the results
Now we combine the results of our division:
- The quotient we obtained is 39.
- Thus, $156 \div 4 = 39$.
The final answer is ( 39 ).
