Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (47).
  • 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 47 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 47.

Step 3: Perform the Division

47 ÷ 4=11.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 47).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

11 x 4 = 44

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

47 - 44 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

47 ÷ 4 = 11 R 3

  • 4 fits into 47 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 3.
