Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (280).
- 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 280 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 280.
Step 3: Perform the Division
280 ÷ 17=16.470588235294
- Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 280).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
16 x 17 = 272
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
280 - 272 = 8
- Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
280 ÷ 17 = 16 R 8
- 17 fits into 280 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 8.
