Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (54).
  • 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 54 ÷ 14 to determine how many times 14 fits fully into 54.

Step 3: Perform the Division

54 ÷ 14=3.8571428571429

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 14 fits completely into 54).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 14 = 42

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

54 - 42 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

54 ÷ 14 = 3 R 12

  • 14 fits into 54 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 12.
