Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (42).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (11).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 42 ÷ 11 to determine how many times 11 fits fully into 42.

Step 3: Perform the Division

42 ÷ 11=3.8181818181818

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 11 fits completely into 42).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 11 = 33

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

42 - 33 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

42 ÷ 11 = 3 R 9

  • 11 fits into 42 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 9.
