Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (144).
  • 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 144 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 144.

Step 3: Perform the Division

144 ÷ 17=8.4705882352941

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 144).

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:

144 - 136 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

144 ÷ 17 = 8 R 8

  • 17 fits into 144 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 8.
