Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (87).
  • 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 87 ÷ 11 to determine how many times 11 fits fully into 87.

Step 3: Perform the Division

87 ÷ 11=7.9090909090909

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 11 fits completely into 87).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 11 = 77

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

87 - 77 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

87 ÷ 11 = 7 R 10

  • 11 fits into 87 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 10.
