Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (251).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (12).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 251 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 251.
Step 3: Perform the Division
251 ÷ 12=20.916666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 20 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 251).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
20 x 12 = 240
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
251 - 240 = 11
- Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
251 ÷ 12 = 20 R 11
- 12 fits into 251 exactly 20 times with a remainder of 11.
