Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (187).
- 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 187 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 187.
Step 3: Perform the Division
187 ÷ 3=62.333333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 62 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 187).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
62 x 3 = 186
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
187 - 186 = 1
- Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
187 ÷ 3 = 62 R 1
- 3 fits into 187 exactly 62 times with a remainder of 1.
