Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (212).
  • 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 212 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 212.

Step 3: Perform the Division

212 ÷ 12=17.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 17 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 212).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

17 x 12 = 204

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

212 - 204 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

212 ÷ 12 = 17 R 8

  • 12 fits into 212 exactly 17 times with a remainder of 8.
