Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (243).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (2).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 243 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 243.
Step 3: Perform the Division
243 ÷ 2=121.5
- Whole-number quotient: 121 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 243).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
121 x 2 = 242
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
243 - 242 = 1
- Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
243 ÷ 2 = 121 R 1
- 2 fits into 243 exactly 121 times with a remainder of 1.
