Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (46).
  • 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 46 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 46.

Step 3: Perform the Division

46 ÷ 8=5.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 46).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 8 = 40

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

46 - 40 = 6

  • Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

46 ÷ 8 = 5 R 6

  • 8 fits into 46 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 6.
