Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (281).
- 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 281 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 281.
Step 3: Perform the Division
281 ÷ 16=17.5625
- Whole-number quotient: 17 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 281).
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:
281 - 272 = 9
- Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
281 ÷ 16 = 17 R 9
- 16 fits into 281 exactly 17 times with a remainder of 9.
