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.
