Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (229).
  • 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 229 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 229.

Step 3: Perform the Division

229 ÷ 28=8.1785714285714

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 229).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 28 = 224

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

229 - 224 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

229 ÷ 28 = 8 R 5

  • 28 fits into 229 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 5.
