Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (223).
  • 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 223 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 223.

Step 3: Perform the Division

223 ÷ 3=74.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 74 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 223).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

74 x 3 = 222

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

223 - 222 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

223 ÷ 3 = 74 R 1

  • 3 fits into 223 exactly 74 times with a remainder of 1.
