Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (157).
  • 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 157 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 157.

Step 3: Perform the Division

157 ÷ 21=7.4761904761905

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 157).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 21 = 147

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

157 - 147 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

157 ÷ 21 = 7 R 10

  • 21 fits into 157 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 10.
