Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (60).
  • 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 60 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 60.

Step 3: Perform the Division

60 ÷ 7=8.5714285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 60).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 7 = 56

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

60 - 56 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

60 ÷ 7 = 8 R 4

  • 7 fits into 60 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 4.
