Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (74).
  • 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 74 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 74.

Step 3: Perform the Division

74 ÷ 21=3.5238095238095

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 74).

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:

74 - 63 = 11

  • Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

74 ÷ 21 = 3 R 11

  • 21 fits into 74 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 11.
