Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (50).
  • 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 50 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 50.

Step 3: Perform the Division

50 ÷ 20=2.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 50).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 20 = 40

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

50 - 40 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

50 ÷ 20 = 2 R 10

  • 20 fits into 50 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 10.
