- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 278).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
11 x 24 = 264
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
278 - 264 = 14
- Remainder: 14 (the amount left over).
