Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (231).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (27).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 231 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 231.
Step 3: Perform the Division
231 ÷ 27=8.5555555555556
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 231).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 27 = 216
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
231 - 216 = 15
- Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
231 ÷ 27 = 8 R 15
- 27 fits into 231 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 15.
