Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (87).
- 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 87 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 87.

87 ÷ 20=4.35
- Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 87).
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:
87 - 80 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
87 ÷ 20 = 4 R 7
- 20 fits into 87 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 7.
