Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (279).
- 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 279 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 279.
Step 3: Perform the Division
279 ÷ 23=12.130434782609
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 279).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
12 x 23 = 276
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
279 - 276 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
279 ÷ 23 = 12 R 3
- 23 fits into 279 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 3.
