Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (125).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (8).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 125 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 125.

Step 3: Perform the Division

125 ÷ 8=15.625

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 125).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 8 = 120

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

125 - 120 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

125 ÷ 8 = 15 R 5

  • 8 fits into 125 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 5.
