Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (87).
- 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 87 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 87.
Step 3: Perform the Division
87 ÷ 7=12.428571428571
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 87).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
12 x 7 = 84
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
87 - 84 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
87 ÷ 7 = 12 R 3
- 7 fits into 87 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 3.
