Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 23=11.347826086957
- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 261).
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:
261 - 253 = 8
- Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 23 = 11 R 8
- 23 fits into 261 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 8.
