Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (142).
- 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 142 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 142.
Step 3: Perform the Division
142 ÷ 20=7.1
- Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 142).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
7 x 20 = 140
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
142 - 140 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
142 ÷ 20 = 7 R 2
- 20 fits into 142 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 2.
