Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (140).
- 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 140 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 140.
Step 3: Perform the Division
140 ÷ 21=6.6666666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 140).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
6 x 21 = 126
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
140 - 126 = 14
- Remainder: 14 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
140 ÷ 21 = 6 R 14
- 21 fits into 140 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 14.
