Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (77).
  • 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 77 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 77.

Step 3: Perform the Division

77 ÷ 23=3.3478260869565

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 77).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 23 = 69

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

77 - 69 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

77 ÷ 23 = 3 R 8

  • 23 fits into 77 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 8.
