Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (253).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (20).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 253 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 253.

Step 3: Perform the Division

253 ÷ 20=12.65

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 253).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

12 x 20 = 240

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

253 - 240 = 13

  • Remainder: 13 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

253 ÷ 20 = 12 R 13

  • 20 fits into 253 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 13.
