Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (78).
- 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 78 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 78.
Step 3: Perform the Division
78 ÷ 20=3.9
- Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 78).
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:
78 - 60 = 18
- Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
78 ÷ 20 = 3 R 18
- 20 fits into 78 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 18.
