Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (262).
  • 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 262 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 262.

Step 3: Perform the Division

262 ÷ 21=12.47619047619

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 262).

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:

262 - 252 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

262 ÷ 21 = 12 R 10

  • 21 fits into 262 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 10.
