Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (142).
- 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 142 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 142.
Step 3: Perform the Division
142 ÷ 17=8.3529411764706
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 142).
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:
142 - 136 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
