Question

what digit is missing from the quotient? \\(\

$$\begin{array}{r} 6\\square2\\text{ r }1 \\\\ 7\\overline{)4285} \\\\ -42\\phantom{85} \\\\ \\hline 08\\phantom{5} \\\\ -\\ 7\\phantom{5} \\\\ \\hline 15 \\\\ -14 \\\\ \\hline 1 \\\\ \\end{array}$$

\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze division step

After subtracting 42 from 42, we bring down 8, getting 8. We calculate how many times 7 fits into 8: $\frac{8}{7}=1$ with a remainder of 1.

Step2: Match to quotient digit

This result is the missing digit in the quotient (between 6 and 2).
