Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (70).
  • 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 70 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 70.

Step 3: Perform the Division

70 ÷ 21=3.3333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 70).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 21 = 63

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

70 - 63 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

70 ÷ 21 = 3 R 7

  • 21 fits into 70 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 7.
