Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (285).
  • 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 285 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 285.

Step 3: Perform the Division

285 ÷ 26=10.961538461538

  • Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 285).

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:

285 - 260 = 25

  • Remainder: 25 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

285 ÷ 26 = 10 R 25

  • 26 fits into 285 exactly 10 times with a remainder of 25.
