Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (139).
  • 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 139 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 139.

Step 3: Perform the Division

139 ÷ 12=11.583333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 139).

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:

139 - 132 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

139 ÷ 12 = 11 R 7

  • 12 fits into 139 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 7.
