Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (155).
  • 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 155 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 155.

Step 3: Perform the Division

155 ÷ 3=51.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 51 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 155).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

51 x 3 = 153

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

155 - 153 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

155 ÷ 3 = 51 R 2

  • 3 fits into 155 exactly 51 times with a remainder of 2.
