Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (217).
  • 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 217 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 217.

Step 3: Perform the Division

217 ÷ 20=10.85

  • Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 217).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

10 x 20 = 200

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

217 - 200 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

217 ÷ 20 = 10 R 17

  • 20 fits into 217 exactly 10 times with a remainder of 17.
