Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (60).
- 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 60 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 60.
Step 3: Perform the Division
60 ÷ 21=2.8571428571429
- Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 60).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
2 x 21 = 42
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
60 - 42 = 18
- Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
60 ÷ 21 = 2 R 18
- 21 fits into 60 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 18.
