Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (270).
  • 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 270 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 270.

Step 3: Perform the Division

270 ÷ 16=16.875

  • Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 270).

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:

270 - 256 = 14

  • Remainder: 14 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

270 ÷ 16 = 16 R 14

  • 16 fits into 270 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 14.
