Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (188).
  • 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 188 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 188.

Step 3: Perform the Division

188 ÷ 21=8.952380952381

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 188).

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:

188 - 168 = 20

  • Remainder: 20 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

188 ÷ 21 = 8 R 20

  • 21 fits into 188 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 20.
