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.
