Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (96).
  • 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 96 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 96.

Step 3: Perform the Division

96 ÷ 21=4.5714285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 96).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 21 = 84

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

96 - 84 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

96 ÷ 21 = 4 R 12

  • 21 fits into 96 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 12.
