Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (72).
  • 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 72 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 72.

Step 3: Perform the Division

72 ÷ 27=2.6666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 72).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 27 = 54

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

72 - 54 = 18

  • Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

72 ÷ 27 = 2 R 18

  • 27 fits into 72 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 18.
