Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (173).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (2).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 173 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 173.

Step 3: Perform the Division

173 ÷ 2=86.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 86 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 173).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

86 x 2 = 172

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

173 - 172 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

173 ÷ 2 = 86 R 1

  • 2 fits into 173 exactly 86 times with a remainder of 1.
