Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (171).
  • 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 171 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 171.

Step 3: Perform the Division

171 ÷ 27=6.3333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 171).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 27 = 162

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

171 - 162 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

171 ÷ 27 = 6 R 9

  • 27 fits into 171 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 9.
