Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (54).
  • 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 54 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 54.

Step 3: Perform the Division

54 ÷ 8=6.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 54).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 8 = 48

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

54 - 48 = 6

  • Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

54 ÷ 8 = 6 R 6

  • 8 fits into 54 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 6.
