Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (73).
  • 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 73 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 73.

Step 3: Perform the Division

73 ÷ 8=9.125

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 73).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

9 x 8 = 72

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

73 - 72 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

73 ÷ 8 = 9 R 1

  • 8 fits into 73 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 1.
