Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (138).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (12).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 138 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 138.
Step 3: Perform the Division
138 ÷ 12=11.5
- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 138).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
11 x 12 = 132
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
138 - 132 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
138 ÷ 12 = 11 R 6
- 12 fits into 138 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 6.
