- Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 278).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
10 x 26 = 260
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
278 - 260 = 18
- Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).
