Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (257).
  • 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 257 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 257.

Step 3: Perform the Division

257 ÷ 23=11.173913043478

  • Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 257).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

11 x 23 = 253

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

257 - 253 = 4

  • Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

257 ÷ 23 = 11 R 4

  • 23 fits into 257 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 4.
