Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (77).
  • 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 77 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 77.

Step 3: Perform the Division

77 ÷ 2=38.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 38 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 77).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

38 x 2 = 76

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

77 - 76 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

77 ÷ 2 = 38 R 1

  • 2 fits into 77 exactly 38 times with a remainder of 1.
