Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (140).
  • 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 140 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 140.

Step 3: Perform the Division

140 ÷ 5=28

  • Whole-number quotient: 28 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 140).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

28 x 5 = 140

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

140 - 140 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

140 ÷ 5 = 28 R 0

  • 5 fits into 140 exactly 28 times with a remainder of 0.
