Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (78).
- 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 78 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 78.
Step 3: Perform the Division
78 ÷ 9=8.6666666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 78).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 9 = 72
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
78 - 72 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
78 ÷ 9 = 8 R 6
- 9 fits into 78 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 6.
