Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 27 to determine how many times 27 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 27=9.6666666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 27 fits completely into 261).
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:
261 - 243 = 18
- Remainder: 18 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 27 = 9 R 18
- 27 fits into 261 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 18.
