Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (253).
  • 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 253 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 253.

Step 3: Perform the Division

253 ÷ 27=9.3703703703704

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 253).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

9 x 27 = 243

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

253 - 243 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

253 ÷ 27 = 9 R 10

  • 27 fits into 253 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 10.
