Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (140).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (24).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 140 ÷ 24 to determine how many times 24 fits fully into 140.

Step 3: Perform the Division

140 ÷ 24=5.8333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 140).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 24 = 120

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

140 - 120 = 20

  • Remainder: 20 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

140 ÷ 24 = 5 R 20

  • 24 fits into 140 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 20.
