Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (79).
  • 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 79 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 79.

Step 3: Perform the Division

79 ÷ 16=4.9375

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 79).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 16 = 64

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

79 - 64 = 15

  • Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

79 ÷ 16 = 4 R 15

  • 16 fits into 79 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 15.
