When you divide 40 by 6, the result is approximately 6.6667. This is a repeating decimal, which means the digit 6 repeats infinitely.
Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
- Divide 40 by 6: 6 goes into 40 six times (6 x 6 = 36).
- Subtract 36 from 40 to get the remainder: 40 – 36 = 4.
- Bring down a 0 to make it 40 again and continue the division: 6 goes into 40 six times again, and the process repeats.
So, 40 divided by 6 is 6.6667, or 6⅔ in fraction form.
