Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (126).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (3).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 126 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 126.

Step 3: Perform the Division

126 ÷ 3=42

  • Whole-number quotient: 42 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 126).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

42 x 3 = 126

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

126 - 126 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

126 ÷ 3 = 42 R 0

  • 3 fits into 126 exactly 42 times with a remainder of 0.
