Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (179).
  • 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 179 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 179.

Step 3: Perform the Division

179 ÷ 20=8.95

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 179).

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:

179 - 160 = 19

  • Remainder: 19 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

179 ÷ 20 = 8 R 19

  • 20 fits into 179 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 19.
