Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (279).
- 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

Step 3: Perform the Division
279 ÷ 24=11.625
- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 24 fits completely into 279).
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:
279 - 264 = 15
- Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
