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.
