Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (217).
  • 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 217 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 217.

Step 3: Perform the Division

217 ÷ 5=43.4

  • Whole-number quotient: 43 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 217).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

43 x 5 = 215

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

217 - 215 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

217 ÷ 5 = 43 R 2

  • 5 fits into 217 exactly 43 times with a remainder of 2.
