Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (140).
  • 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 140 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 140.

Step 3: Perform the Division

140 ÷ 9=15.555555555556

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 140).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 9 = 135

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

140 - 135 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

140 ÷ 9 = 15 R 5

  • 9 fits into 140 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 5.
