Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (97).
  • 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 97 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 97.

Step 3: Perform the Division

97 ÷ 17=5.7058823529412

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 97).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 17 = 85

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

97 - 85 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

97 ÷ 17 = 5 R 12

  • 17 fits into 97 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 12.
