Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (299).
  • 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 299 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 299.

Step 3: Perform the Division

299 ÷ 21=14.238095238095

  • Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 299).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

14 x 21 = 294

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

299 - 294 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

299 ÷ 21 = 14 R 5

  • 21 fits into 299 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 5.
