Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (87).
  • 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 87 ÷ 13 to determine how many times 13 fits fully into 87.

Step 3: Perform the Division

87 ÷ 13=6.6923076923077

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 13 fits completely into 87).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 13 = 78

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

87 - 78 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

87 ÷ 13 = 6 R 9

  • 13 fits into 87 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 9.
