Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (231).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (24).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 231 ÷ 24 to determine how many times 24 fits fully into 231.
Step 3: Perform the Division
231 ÷ 24=9.625
- Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 231).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
9 x 24 = 216
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
231 - 216 = 15
- Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
231 ÷ 24 = 9 R 15
- 24 fits into 231 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 15.
