Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (288).
  • 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 288 ÷ 2 to determine how many times 2 fits fully into 288.

Step 3: Perform the Division

288 ÷ 2=144

  • Whole-number quotient: 144 (the number of times 2 fits completely into 288).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

144 x 2 = 288

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

288 - 288 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

288 ÷ 2 = 144 R 0

  • 2 fits into 288 exactly 144 times with a remainder of 0.
