Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (43).
  • 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 43 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 43.

Step 3: Perform the Division

43 ÷ 2=21.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 21 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 43).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

21 x 2 = 42

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

43 - 42 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

43 ÷ 2 = 21 R 1

  • 2 fits into 43 exactly 21 times with a remainder of 1.
