Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (125).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (21).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 125 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 125.

Step 3: Perform the Division

125 ÷ 21=5.952380952381

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 125).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 21 = 105

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

125 - 105 = 20

  • Remainder: 20 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

125 ÷ 21 = 5 R 20

  • 21 fits into 125 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 20.
