Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (231).
  • 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 231 ÷ 13 to determine how many times 13 fits fully into 231.

Step 3: Perform the Division

231 ÷ 13=17.769230769231

  • Whole-number quotient: 17 (the number of times 13 fits completely into 231).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

17 x 13 = 221

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

231 - 221 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

231 ÷ 13 = 17 R 10

  • 13 fits into 231 exactly 17 times with a remainder of 10.
