Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (132).
  • 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 132 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 132.

Step 3: Perform the Division

132 ÷ 5=26.4

  • Whole-number quotient: 26 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 132).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

26 x 5 = 130

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

132 - 130 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

132 ÷ 5 = 26 R 2

  • 5 fits into 132 exactly 26 times with a remainder of 2.
