Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (61).
  • 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 61 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 61.

Step 3: Perform the Division

61 ÷ 4=15.25

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 61).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 4 = 60

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

61 - 60 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

61 ÷ 4 = 15 R 1

  • 4 fits into 61 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 1.
