Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (254).
- 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 254 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 254.
Step 3: Perform the Division
254 ÷ 21=12.095238095238
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 254).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
12 x 21 = 252
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
254 - 252 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
254 ÷ 21 = 12 R 2
- 21 fits into 254 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 2.
