Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (172).
- 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 172 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 172.
Step 3: Perform the Division
172 ÷ 20=8.6
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 172).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 20 = 160
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
172 - 160 = 12
- Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
172 ÷ 20 = 8 R 12
- 20 fits into 172 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 12.
