Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (157).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (28).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 157 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 157.

Step 3: Perform the Division

157 ÷ 28=5.6071428571429

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 157).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 28 = 140

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

157 - 140 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

157 ÷ 28 = 5 R 17

  • 28 fits into 157 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 17.
