Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (208).
  • 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 208 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 208.

Step 3: Perform the Division

208 ÷ 3=69.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 69 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 208).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

69 x 3 = 207

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

208 - 207 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

208 ÷ 3 = 69 R 1

  • 3 fits into 208 exactly 69 times with a remainder of 1.
