Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (77).
  • 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 77 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 77.

Step 3: Perform the Division

77 ÷ 5=15.4

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 77).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 5 = 75

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

77 - 75 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

77 ÷ 5 = 15 R 2

  • 5 fits into 77 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 2.
