Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (144).
- 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 144 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 144.
Step 3: Perform the Division
144 ÷ 5=28.8
- Whole-number quotient: 28 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 144).
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:
144 - 140 = 4
- Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
144 ÷ 5 = 28 R 4
- 5 fits into 144 exactly 28 times with a remainder of 4.
