80 does not go into 30 any whole number of times. In division, the number being divided (30) is called the dividend, and the number we are dividing by (80) is called the divisor. When the dividend is smaller than the divisor, the result is always 0 with a remainder equal to the dividend. So, in this case, 80 goes into 30 zero times with a remainder of 30.
