Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (259).
- 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 259 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 259.
Step 3: Perform the Division
259 ÷ 23=11.260869565217
- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 259).
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:
259 - 253 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
259 ÷ 23 = 11 R 6
- 23 fits into 259 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 6.
