- Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 131).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
4 x 28 = 112
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
131 - 112 = 19
- Remainder: 19 (the amount left over).
