Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (138).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (17).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 138 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 138.
Step 3: Perform the Division
138 ÷ 17=8.1176470588235

Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 17 = 136
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
138 - 136 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
