Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (87).
- 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 87 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 87.
Step 3: Perform the Division
87 ÷ 3=29
- Whole-number quotient: 29 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 87).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
29 x 3 = 87
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
87 - 87 = 0
- Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
87 ÷ 3 = 29 R 0
- 3 fits into 87 exactly 29 times with a remainder of 0.
