Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (291).
  • 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 291 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 291.

Step 3: Perform the Division

291 ÷ 21=13.857142857143

  • Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 291).

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:

291 - 273 = 18

  • Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

291 ÷ 21 = 13 R 18

  • 21 fits into 291 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 18.
