Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (168).
  • 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 168 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 168.

Step 3: Perform the Division

168 ÷ 23=7.304347826087

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 168).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 23 = 161

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

168 - 161 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

168 ÷ 23 = 7 R 7

  • 23 fits into 168 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 7.
