Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (240).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (17).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 240 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 240.
Step 3: Perform the Division
240 ÷ 17=14.117647058824
- Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 240).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
14 x 17 = 238
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
240 - 238 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
240 ÷ 17 = 14 R 2
- 17 fits into 240 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 2.
