Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (78).
  • 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 78 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 78.

Step 3: Perform the Division

78 ÷ 3=26

  • Whole-number quotient: 26 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 78).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

26 x 3 = 78

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

78 - 78 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

78 ÷ 3 = 26 R 0

  • 3 fits into 78 exactly 26 times with a remainder of 0.
