Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (79).
- 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 79 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 79.
Step 3: Perform the Division
79 ÷ 2=39.5
- Whole-number quotient: 39 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 79).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
39 x 2 = 78
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
79 - 78 = 1
- Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
79 ÷ 2 = 39 R 1
- 2 fits into 79 exactly 39 times with a remainder of 1.
