Answer for screen readers

The answer to $342 \div 9$ is $38$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Set up the division We need to divide 342 by 9. This is written as $342 \div 9$.

  2. Perform the division Start by determining how many times 9 fits into the leading digits of 342.

  • 9 goes into 34 (the first two digits of 342) a total of 3 times, since $9 \times 3 = 27$.
  1. Subtract and bring down Subtract 27 from 34, which gives us $34 - 27 = 7$.
  • Next, bring down the 2 from 342, making it 72.
  1. Divide again Now, divide 72 by 9.
  • 9 goes into 72 a total of 8 times since $9 \times 8 = 72$.
  1. Final subtraction Subtract 72 from 72, which gives us $72 - 72 = 0$.
  • There’s no remainder, so we are done!
  1. Compile the result The complete answer with quotient is $38$.

The answer to $342 \div 9$ is $38$.
