Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (231).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (16).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 231 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 231.
Step 3: Perform the Division
231 ÷ 16=14.4375
- Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 231).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
14 x 16 = 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 ÷ 16 = 14 R 7
- 16 fits into 231 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 7.
