Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (51).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (7).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 51 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 51.

Step 3: Perform the Division

51 ÷ 7=7.2857142857143

  • Whole-number quotient: 7 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 51).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

7 x 7 = 49

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

51 - 49 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

51 ÷ 7 = 7 R 2

  • 7 fits into 51 exactly 7 times with a remainder of 2.
