Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (187).
  • 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 187 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 187.

Step 3: Perform the Division

187 ÷ 23=8.1304347826087

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 187).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 23 = 184

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

187 - 184 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

187 ÷ 23 = 8 R 3

  • 23 fits into 187 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 3.
