Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (143).
- 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 143 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 143.
Step 3: Perform the Division
143 ÷ 21=6.8095238095238
- Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 143).
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:
143 - 126 = 17
- Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
143 ÷ 21 = 6 R 17
- 21 fits into 143 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 17.
