34:5

Here is a clear, step-by-step solution for 34:5 (34 divided by 5).

Answer: 34 ÷ 5 = 6.8

• Also can be written as 6 with remainder 4, or as the mixed number 6 4/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine how many times 5 fits into 34.

   • 5 × 6 = 30 and 5 × 7 = 35 (which is too big).
   • So the quotient starts as 6.

2. Subtract to find the remainder.

   • 34 − 30 = 4
   • Remainder is 4.

3. Express the result in different forms.

   • Mixed number: 6 and 4/5 (6 4/5).
   • Decimal: 4/5 = 0.8, so 6.8.

4. Check the result.

   • 6.8 × 5 = 34 (since 6×5 = 30 and 0.8×5 = 4; 30 + 4 = 34).

Optional long-division view (for clarity):

• 34 ÷ 5
• 5 goes into 34 six times. 6 × 5 = 30. Subtract: 34 − 30 = 4.
• Bring down a 0 to continue (for decimal): 40. 5 goes into 40 eight times. 8 × 5 = 40. Subtract: 0.
• So the decimal part is .8, giving 6.8.

If you want, you can also say: 34:5 = 6.8 = 6 4/5. And the English phrasing would be: “Thirty-four divided by five equals six point eight.”
