Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (231).
- 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 231 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 231.
Step 3: Perform the Division
231 ÷ 26=8.8846153846154
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 231).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 26 = 208
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
231 - 208 = 23
- Remainder: 23 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
231 ÷ 26 = 8 R 23
- 26 fits into 231 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 23.
