- 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

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).
