Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (259).
  • 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 259 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 259.

Step 3: Perform the Division

259 ÷ 26=9.9615384615385

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 259).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

9 x 26 = 234

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

259 - 234 = 25

  • Remainder: 25 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

259 ÷ 26 = 9 R 25

  • 26 fits into 259 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 25.
