Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (286).
  • 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 286 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 286.

Step 3: Perform the Division

286 ÷ 12=23.833333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 23 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 286).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

23 x 12 = 276

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

286 - 276 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

286 ÷ 12 = 23 R 10

  • 12 fits into 286 exactly 23 times with a remainder of 10.
