Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (76).
  • 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 76 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 76.

Step 3: Perform the Division

76 ÷ 3=25.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 25 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 76).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

25 x 3 = 75

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

76 - 75 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

76 ÷ 3 = 25 R 1

  • 3 fits into 76 exactly 25 times with a remainder of 1.
