Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (78).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (22).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 78 ÷ 22 to determine how many times 22 fits fully into 78.

Step 3: Perform the Division

78 ÷ 22=3.5454545454545

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 22 fits completely into 78).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 22 = 66

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

78 - 66 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

78 ÷ 22 = 3 R 12

  • 22 fits into 78 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 12.
