Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (179).
  • 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 179 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 179.

Step 3: Perform the Division

179 ÷ 2=89.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 89 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 179).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

89 x 2 = 178

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

179 - 178 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

179 ÷ 2 = 89 R 1

  • 2 fits into 179 exactly 89 times with a remainder of 1.
