Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (68).
  • 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 68 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 68.

Step 3: Perform the Division

68 ÷ 28=2.4285714285714

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 68).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 28 = 56

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

68 - 56 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

68 ÷ 28 = 2 R 12

  • 28 fits into 68 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 12.
