Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (203).
  • 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 203 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 203.

Step 3: Perform the Division

203 ÷ 12=16.916666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 203).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

16 x 12 = 192

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

203 - 192 = 11

  • Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

203 ÷ 12 = 16 R 11

  • 12 fits into 203 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 11.
