Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (285).
- 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 285 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 285.
Step 3: Perform the Division
285 ÷ 21=13.571428571429
- Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 285).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
13 x 21 = 273
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
285 - 273 = 12
- Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
285 ÷ 21 = 13 R 12
- 21 fits into 285 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 12.
