Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (142).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (23).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 142 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 142.

Step 3: Perform the Division

142 ÷ 23=6.1739130434783

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 142).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 23 = 138

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

142 - 138 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

142 ÷ 23 = 6 R 4

  • 23 fits into 142 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 4.
