Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (285).
  • 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 285 ÷ 23 to determine how many times 23 fits fully into 285.

Step 3: Perform the Division

285 ÷ 23=12.391304347826

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 285).

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:

285 - 276 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

285 ÷ 23 = 12 R 9

  • 23 fits into 285 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 9.
