Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (229).
  • 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 229 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 229.

Step 3: Perform the Division

229 ÷ 5=45.8

  • Whole-number quotient: 45 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 229).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

45 x 5 = 225

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

229 - 225 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

229 ÷ 5 = 45 R 4

  • 5 fits into 229 exactly 45 times with a remainder of 4.
