Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (108).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (5).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 108 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 108.

Step 3: Perform the Division

108 ÷ 5=21.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 21 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 108).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

21 x 5 = 105

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

108 - 105 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

108 ÷ 5 = 21 R 3

  • 5 fits into 108 exactly 21 times with a remainder of 3.
