Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (231).
  • 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 231 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 231.

Step 3: Perform the Division

231 ÷ 20=11.55

  • Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 231).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

11 x 20 = 220

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

231 - 220 = 11

  • Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

231 ÷ 20 = 11 R 11

  • 20 fits into 231 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 11.
