Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (251).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (23).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 251 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 251.

Step 3: Perform the Division

251 ÷ 23=10.913043478261

  • Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 251).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

10 x 23 = 230

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

251 - 230 = 21

  • Remainder: 21 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

251 ÷ 23 = 10 R 21

  • 23 fits into 251 exactly 10 times with a remainder of 21.
