Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (165).
  • 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 165 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 165.

Step 3: Perform the Division

165 ÷ 21=7.8571428571429

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 165).

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:

165 - 147 = 18

  • Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

165 ÷ 21 = 7 R 18

  • 21 fits into 165 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 18.
