Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (53).
  • 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 53 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 53.

Step 3: Perform the Division

53 ÷ 26=2.0384615384615

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 53).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 26 = 52

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

53 - 52 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

53 ÷ 26 = 2 R 1

  • 26 fits into 53 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 1.
