Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (158).
  • 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 158 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 158.

Step 3: Perform the Division

158 ÷ 28=5.6428571428571

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 158).

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:

158 - 140 = 18

  • Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

158 ÷ 28 = 5 R 18

  • 28 fits into 158 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 18.
