Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 21=12.428571428571
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 261).
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:
261 - 252 = 9
- Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 21 = 12 R 9
- 21 fits into 261 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 9.
