Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (188).
  • 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 188 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 188.

Step 3: Perform the Division

188 ÷ 20=9.4

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 188).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

9 x 20 = 180

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

188 - 180 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

188 ÷ 20 = 9 R 8

  • 20 fits into 188 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 8.
