Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (233).
  • 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 233 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 233.

Step 3: Perform the Division

233 ÷ 5=46.6

  • Whole-number quotient: 46 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 233).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

46 x 5 = 230

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

233 - 230 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

233 ÷ 5 = 46 R 3

  • 5 fits into 233 exactly 46 times with a remainder of 3.
