Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (256).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (16).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 256 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 256.
Step 3: Perform the Division
256 ÷ 16=16
- Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 256).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
16 x 16 = 256
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
256 - 256 = 0
- Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
256 ÷ 16 = 16 R 0
- 16 fits into 256 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 0.
