Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (240).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (28).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 240 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 240.

Step 3: Perform the Division

240 ÷ 28=8.5714285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 240).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 28 = 224

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

240 - 224 = 16

  • Remainder: 16 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

240 ÷ 28 = 8 R 16

  • 28 fits into 240 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 16.
