Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (123).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (9).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 123 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 123.

Step 3: Perform the Division

123 ÷ 9=13.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 123).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

13 x 9 = 117

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

123 - 117 = 6

  • Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

123 ÷ 9 = 13 R 6

  • 9 fits into 123 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 6.
