Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (61).
  • 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 61 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 61.

Step 3: Perform the Division

61 ÷ 16=3.8125

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 61).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 16 = 48

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

61 - 48 = 13

  • Remainder: 13 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

61 ÷ 16 = 3 R 13

  • 16 fits into 61 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 13.
