Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (261).
  • 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 261 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 261.

Step 3: Perform the Division

261 ÷ 28=9.3214285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 261).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

9 x 28 = 252

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

261 - 252 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

261 ÷ 28 = 9 R 9

  • 28 fits into 261 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 9.
