Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (179).
  • 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 179 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 179.

Step 3: Perform the Division

179 ÷ 27=6.6296296296296

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 179).

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:

179 - 162 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

179 ÷ 27 = 6 R 17

  • 27 fits into 179 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 17.
