Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (179).
  • 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 179 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 179.

Step 3: Perform the Division

179 ÷ 23=7.7826086956522

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 179).

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:

179 - 161 = 18

  • Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

179 ÷ 23 = 7 R 18

  • 23 fits into 179 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 18.
