Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (72).
  • 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 72 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 72.

Step 3: Perform the Division

72 ÷ 4=18

  • Whole-number quotient: 18 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 72).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

18 x 4 = 72

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

72 - 72 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

72 ÷ 4 = 18 R 0

  • 4 fits into 72 exactly 18 times with a remainder of 0.
