Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (236).
  • 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 236 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 236.

Step 3: Perform the Division

236 ÷ 5=47.2

  • Whole-number quotient: 47 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 236).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

47 x 5 = 235

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

236 - 235 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

236 ÷ 5 = 47 R 1

  • 5 fits into 236 exactly 47 times with a remainder of 1.
