Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (140).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (26).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 140 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 140.

Step 3: Perform the Division

140 ÷ 26=5.3846153846154

  • Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 140).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

5 x 26 = 130

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

140 - 130 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

140 ÷ 26 = 5 R 10

  • 26 fits into 140 exactly 5 times with a remainder of 10.
