Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (73).
  • 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 73 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 73.

Step 3: Perform the Division

73 ÷ 17=4.2941176470588

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 73).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 17 = 68

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

73 - 68 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

73 ÷ 17 = 4 R 5

  • 17 fits into 73 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 5.
