Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (269).
  • 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 269 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 269.

Step 3: Perform the Division

269 ÷ 21=12.809523809524

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 269).

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:

269 - 252 = 17

  • Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

269 ÷ 21 = 12 R 17

  • 21 fits into 269 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 17.
