Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (168).
  • 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 168 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 168.

Step 3: Perform the Division

168 ÷ 5=33.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 33 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 168).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

33 x 5 = 165

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

168 - 165 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

168 ÷ 5 = 33 R 3

  • 5 fits into 168 exactly 33 times with a remainder of 3.
