Solve for the quotient and remainder:

[tex]\[ 14013 \div 692 = ? \][/tex]

A. 21 r 172
B. 20 r 173
C. 20 r 174
D. 19 r 173

Answer :

To solve the division problem [tex]\(14013 \div 692\)[/tex], we need to find both the quotient and the remainder.

1. Identify the Dividend and Divisor:
- Dividend = 14013
- Divisor = 692

2. Divide the Dividend by the Divisor:
We begin by seeing how many times 692 fits into 14013 without exceeding it.

3. Calculate the Quotient:
Start by estimating:
- Check roughly how many whole times 692 will fit into 14013.

4. Multiply and Subtract:
- Multiply 692 by a close number to 20 (the quotient from the step above) to see how close we can get to 14013 without exceeding it.
- [tex]\(692 \times 20 = 13840\)[/tex]

5. Find the Remainder:
- Subtract the result from the dividend:
- [tex]\(14013 - 13840 = 173\)[/tex]

6. Conclusion:
- The division of 14013 by 692 gives a quotient of 20 with a remainder of 173.

Therefore, the answer is [tex]\(20\)[/tex] with a remainder of [tex]\(173\)[/tex], which corresponds to option B: [tex]\(20 \, \text{r} \, 173\)[/tex].
