Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (88).
  • 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 88 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 88.

Step 3: Perform the Division

88 ÷ 12=7.3333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 88).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 12 = 84

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

88 - 84 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

88 ÷ 12 = 7 R 4

  • 12 fits into 88 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 4.
