Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (233).
  • 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 233 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 233.

Step 3: Perform the Division

233 ÷ 12=19.416666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 19 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 233).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

19 x 12 = 228

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

233 - 228 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

233 ÷ 12 = 19 R 5

  • 12 fits into 233 exactly 19 times with a remainder of 5.
