Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (255).
- 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 255 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 255.
Step 3: Perform the Division
255 ÷ 27=9.4444444444444
- Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 255).
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:
255 - 243 = 12
- Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
255 ÷ 27 = 9 R 12
- 27 fits into 255 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 12.
