Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (242).
  • 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 242 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 242.

Step 3: Perform the Division

242 ÷ 27=8.962962962963

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 242).

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:

242 - 216 = 26

  • Remainder: 26 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

242 ÷ 27 = 8 R 26

  • 27 fits into 242 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 26.
