20
12

Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (32).
  • 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 32 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 32.

Step 3: Perform the Division

32 ÷ 20=1.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 1 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 32).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

1 x 20 = 20

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

32 - 20 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

32 ÷ 20 = 1 R 12

  • 20 fits into 32 exactly 1 times with a remainder of 12.
