Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (281).
- 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 281 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 281.
Step 3: Perform the Division
281 ÷ 23=12.217391304348
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 281).
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:
281 - 276 = 5
- Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
281 ÷ 23 = 12 R 5
- 23 fits into 281 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 5.
