Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (279).
- 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 279 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 279.
Step 3: Perform the Division
279 ÷ 20=13.95
- Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 279).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
13 x 20 = 260
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
279 - 260 = 19
- Remainder: 19 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
279 ÷ 20 = 13 R 19
- 20 fits into 279 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 19.
