Given the numerical statement:

100 divided by 6

It can be written as;

100/6

Solution:

In dividing a number, we must first identify the dividend and the divisor. In the given case, the dividend is 100, and it is divided by 6 which is the divisor. If the answer or quotient is a whole number, this means that both numbers are factors of one another, if not, then the quotient will have a remainder or decimal.

= 100/6 

= 16.66667 (repeating)

The quotient of the number is repeating in a manner of .66667, but it can be terminated by rounding to the nearest value in which the person is most convenient to or as stated in any given condition. In our case we can round to the nearest thousandths.

Final answer: 16.667
