Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (231).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (4).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 231 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 231.

Step 3: Perform the Division

231 ÷ 4=57.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 57 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 231).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

57 x 4 = 228

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

231 - 228 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

231 ÷ 4 = 57 R 3

  • 4 fits into 231 exactly 57 times with a remainder of 3.
