Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (255).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (10).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 255 ÷ 10 to determine how many times 10 fits fully into 255.

Step 3: Perform the Division

255 ÷ 10=25.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 25 (the number of times 10 fits completely into 255).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

25 x 10 = 250

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

255 - 250 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

255 ÷ 10 = 25 R 5

  • 10 fits into 255 exactly 25 times with a remainder of 5.
