Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (172).
  • 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 172 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 172.

Step 3: Perform the Division

172 ÷ 8=21.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 21 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 172).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

21 x 8 = 168

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

172 - 168 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

172 ÷ 8 = 21 R 4

  • 8 fits into 172 exactly 21 times with a remainder of 4.
