Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (237).
  • 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 237 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 237.

Step 3: Perform the Division

237 ÷ 17=13.941176470588

  • Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 237).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

13 x 17 = 221

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

237 - 221 = 16

  • Remainder: 16 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

237 ÷ 17 = 13 R 16

  • 17 fits into 237 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 16.
