Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (86).
  • 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 86 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 86.

Step 3: Perform the Division

86 ÷ 4=21.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 21 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 86).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

21 x 4 = 84

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

86 - 84 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

86 ÷ 4 = 21 R 2

  • 4 fits into 86 exactly 21 times with a remainder of 2.
