Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (68).
  • 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 68 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 68.

Step 3: Perform the Division

68 ÷ 8=8.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 68).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 8 = 64

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

68 - 64 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

68 ÷ 8 = 8 R 4

  • 8 fits into 68 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 4.
