Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (85).
  • 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 85 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 85.

Step 3: Perform the Division

85 ÷ 16=5.3125

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 85).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 16 = 80

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

85 - 80 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

85 ÷ 16 = 5 R 5

  • 16 fits into 85 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 5.
