Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (118).
  • 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 118 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 118.

Step 3: Perform the Division

118 ÷ 5=23.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 23 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 118).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

23 x 5 = 115

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

118 - 115 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

118 ÷ 5 = 23 R 3

  • 5 fits into 118 exactly 23 times with a remainder of 3.
