Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (123).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (20).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 123 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 123.

Step 3: Perform the Division

123 ÷ 20=6.15

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 123).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 20 = 120

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

123 - 120 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

123 ÷ 20 = 6 R 3

  • 20 fits into 123 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 3.
