Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (252).
  • 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 252 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 252.

Step 3: Perform the Division

252 ÷ 12=21

  • Whole-number quotient: 21 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 252).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

21 x 12 = 252

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

252 - 252 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

252 ÷ 12 = 21 R 0

  • 12 fits into 252 exactly 21 times with a remainder of 0.
