Divide: 7 42

To divide 42 by 7 using an array approach, we can visualize it as distributing 42 items into groups of 7.

1. Set Up the Array: Create rows representing groups of 7.
2. Count the Groups:

– Start distributing items (like dots or counters) into each group of 7.
– For 42, you can fill 6 groups of 7 completely (because 7 x 6 = 42).
3. Count the Groups:

– You get 6 complete groups.

Therefore, 42 divided by 7 equals 6.

So, the answer is 6. You can think of it as how many groups of 7 fit into 42!
