Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (187).
- 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 187 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 187.
Step 3: Perform the Division
187 ÷ 21=8.9047619047619
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 187).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 21 = 168
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
187 - 168 = 19
- Remainder: 19 (the amount left over).
