Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (60).
  • 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 60 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 60.

Step 3: Perform the Division

60 ÷ 5=12

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 60).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

12 x 5 = 60

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

60 - 60 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

60 ÷ 5 = 12 R 0

  • 5 fits into 60 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 0.
