Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (237).
  • 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 237 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 237.

Step 3: Perform the Division

237 ÷ 8=29.625

  • Whole-number quotient: 29 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 237).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

29 x 8 = 232

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

237 - 232 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

237 ÷ 8 = 29 R 5

  • 8 fits into 237 exactly 29 times with a remainder of 5.
