Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (78).
  • 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 78 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 78.

Step 3: Perform the Division

78 ÷ 12=6.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 78).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 12 = 72

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

78 - 72 = 6

  • Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

78 ÷ 12 = 6 R 6

  • 12 fits into 78 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 6.
