Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (279).
- 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 279 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 279.
Step 3: Perform the Division
279 ÷ 16=17.4375
- Whole-number quotient: 17 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 279).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
17 x 16 = 272
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
279 - 272 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
279 ÷ 16 = 17 R 7
- 16 fits into 279 exactly 17 times with a remainder of 7.
