Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (189).
  • 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 189 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 189.

Step 3: Perform the Division

189 ÷ 23=8.2173913043478

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 189).

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:

189 - 184 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

189 ÷ 23 = 8 R 5

  • 23 fits into 189 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 5.
