Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (208).
  • 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 208 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 208.

Step 3: Perform the Division

208 ÷ 5=41.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 41 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 208).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

41 x 5 = 205

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

208 - 205 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

208 ÷ 5 = 41 R 3

  • 5 fits into 208 exactly 41 times with a remainder of 3.
