Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (99).
  • 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 99 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 99.

Step 3: Perform the Division

99 ÷ 28=3.5357142857143

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 99).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 28 = 84

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

99 - 84 = 15

  • Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

99 ÷ 28 = 3 R 15

  • 28 fits into 99 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 15.
