Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (70).
  • 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 70 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 70.

Step 3: Perform the Division

70 ÷ 20=3.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 70).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 20 = 60

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

70 - 60 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

70 ÷ 20 = 3 R 10

  • 20 fits into 70 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 10.
