Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (231).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (14).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 231 ÷ 14 to determine how many times 14 fits fully into 231.

Step 3: Perform the Division

231 ÷ 14=16.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 14 fits completely into 231).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

16 x 14 = 224

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

231 - 224 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

231 ÷ 14 = 16 R 7

  • 14 fits into 231 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 7.
