Answer:

Quotient: 41

Remainder: 8

Explanation:

Just to clarify terms used here, when you divide a number by another, the quotient is the amount of times it divides evenly and the remainder is the amount left over after dividing.

There are two main methods I'll recommend for solving this: long division and calculator.

Long division

I have attached a picture of how to solve this using long division, which is a method of dividing large numbers by breaking down numbers into smaller groups. It is a bit awkward to explain long division in detail over text, so I recommend finding a video online about how to do long division if you want to learn more.

Looking at the picture, note the number on top is the amount of times 73 divides into 3001 (quotient), and the number on bottom is the amount left over after (remainder). So quotient = 41 and remainder=8.

Calculator

Another method to solve a question like this is of course to use a calculator, but this may not be the method your teacher would like you to use as it is more useful to understand long division. Dividing 3001 by 73 on a calculator will give you like 41.1095890411. So if it goes in 41 and a bit times, we know the quotient is 41.

But what's the remainder (aka what's left over)?. Well first we need to know how much is divided evenly, which we found out above was 73, 41 times. What is 73x41? It's2993. What's left over after 2993 is taken from 3001? It's 8. So the remainder is 8.
