Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (131).
- 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 131 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 131.
Step 3: Perform the Division
131 ÷ 9=14.555555555556
- Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 131).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
14 x 9 = 126
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
131 - 126 = 5
- Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
131 ÷ 9 = 14 R 5
- 9 fits into 131 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 5.
