Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (171).
  • 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 171 ÷ 24 to determine how many times 24 fits fully into 171.

Step 3: Perform the Division

171 ÷ 24=7.125

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 171).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 24 = 168

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

171 - 168 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

171 ÷ 24 = 7 R 3

  • 24 fits into 171 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 3.
