Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (48).
  • 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 48 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 48.

Step 3: Perform the Division

48 ÷ 4=12

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 48).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

12 x 4 = 48

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

48 - 48 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

48 ÷ 4 = 12 R 0

  • 4 fits into 48 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 0.
