39
Answer for screen readers

The final answer is ( 39 ).

Steps to Solve

  1. 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:

$$ 156 \div 4 $$

  1. 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: $$ 15 - 12 = 3 $$
  1. 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:

$$ 36 - 36 = 0 $$

  1. 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 ).
