Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (60).
  • 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 60 ÷ 24 to determine how many times 24 fits fully into 60.

Step 3: Perform the Division

60 ÷ 24=2.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 60).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 24 = 48

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

60 - 48 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

60 ÷ 24 = 2 R 12

  • 24 fits into 60 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 12.
