Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (143).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (26).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 143 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 143.

Step 3: Perform the Division

143 ÷ 26=5.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 143).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 26 = 130

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

143 - 130 = 13

  • Remainder: 13 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

143 ÷ 26 = 5 R 13

  • 26 fits into 143 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 13.
