Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (73).
  • 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 73 ÷ 26 to determine how many times 26 fits fully into 73.

Step 3: Perform the Division

73 ÷ 26=2.8076923076923

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 26 fits completely into 73).

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:

73 - 52 = 21

  • Remainder: 21 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

73 ÷ 26 = 2 R 21

  • 26 fits into 73 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 21.
