Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (286).
  • 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 286 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 286.

Step 3: Perform the Division

286 ÷ 2=143

  • Whole-number quotient: 143 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 286).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

143 x 2 = 286

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

286 - 286 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

286 ÷ 2 = 143 R 0

  • 2 fits into 286 exactly 143 times with a remainder of 0.
