Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (158).
  • 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 158 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 158.

Step 3: Perform the Division

158 ÷ 26=6.0769230769231

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 158).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 26 = 156

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

158 - 156 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

158 ÷ 26 = 6 R 2

  • 26 fits into 158 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 2.
