Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (86).
  • 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 86 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 86.

Step 3: Perform the Division

86 ÷ 23=3.7391304347826

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 86).

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:

86 - 69 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

86 ÷ 23 = 3 R 17

  • 23 fits into 86 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 17.
