Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 24 to determine how many times 24 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 24=10.875
- Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 261).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
10 x 24 = 240
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
261 - 240 = 21
- Remainder: 21 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 24 = 10 R 21
- 24 fits into 261 exactly 10 times with a remainder of 21.
