Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (51).
  • 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 51 ÷ 13 to determine how many times 13 fits fully into 51.

Step 3: Perform the Division

51 ÷ 13=3.9230769230769

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 13 fits completely into 51).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 13 = 39

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

51 - 39 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

51 ÷ 13 = 3 R 12

  • 13 fits into 51 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 12.
