Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (240).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (21).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 240 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 240.

Step 3: Perform the Division

240 ÷ 21=11.428571428571

  • Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 240).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

11 x 21 = 231

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

240 - 231 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

240 ÷ 21 = 11 R 9

  • 21 fits into 240 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 9.
