Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 17=15.352941176471
- Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 261).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
15 x 17 = 255
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
261 - 255 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 17 = 15 R 6
- 17 fits into 261 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 6.
