Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (97).
  • 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 97 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 97.

Step 3: Perform the Division

97 ÷ 3=32.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 32 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 97).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

32 x 3 = 96

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

97 - 96 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

97 ÷ 3 = 32 R 1

  • 3 fits into 97 exactly 32 times with a remainder of 1.
