Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (71).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (18).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 71 ÷ 18 to determine how many times 18 fits fully into 71.

Step 3: Perform the Division

71 ÷ 18=3.9444444444444

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 18 fits completely into 71).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 18 = 54

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

71 - 54 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

71 ÷ 18 = 3 R 17

  • 18 fits into 71 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 17.
