Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (85).
  • 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 85 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 85.

Step 3: Perform the Division

85 ÷ 20=4.25

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 85).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 20 = 80

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

85 - 80 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

85 ÷ 20 = 4 R 5

  • 20 fits into 85 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 5.
