Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (81).
  • 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 81 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 81.

Step 3: Perform the Division

81 ÷ 5=16.2

  • Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 81).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

16 x 5 = 80

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

81 - 80 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

81 ÷ 5 = 16 R 1

  • 5 fits into 81 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 1.
