How many times does 42 go into 231?

To calculate how many times 42 goes into 231, you would perform the division operation 231 ÷ 42. The quotient is the result of this division, which is 5.5. However, since 42 cannot go into 231 exactly, we must consider that the answer should be a whole number. Therefore, 42 goes into 231 a total of 5 times with a remainder of 21.
