Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (59).
  • 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 59 ÷ 14 to determine how many times 14 fits fully into 59.

Step 3: Perform the Division

59 ÷ 14=4.2142857142857

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 14 fits completely into 59).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 14 = 56

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

59 - 56 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

59 ÷ 14 = 4 R 3

  • 14 fits into 59 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 3.
