Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (142).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (10).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 142 ÷ 10 to determine how many times 10 fits fully into 142.

Step 3: Perform the Division

142 ÷ 10=14.2

  • Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 10 fits completely into 142).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

14 x 10 = 140

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

142 - 140 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

142 ÷ 10 = 14 R 2

  • 10 fits into 142 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 2.
