Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (144).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (27).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 144 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 144.

Step 3: Perform the Division

144 ÷ 27=5.3333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 144).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 27 = 135

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

144 - 135 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

144 ÷ 27 = 5 R 9

  • 27 fits into 144 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 9.
