Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (172).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (13).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 172 ÷ 13 to determine how many times 13 fits fully into 172.

Step 3: Perform the Division

172 ÷ 13=13.230769230769

  • Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 13 fits completely into 172).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

13 x 13 = 169

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

172 - 169 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

172 ÷ 13 = 13 R 3

  • 13 fits into 172 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 3.
