Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (273).
  • 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 273 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 273.

Step 3: Perform the Division

273 ÷ 28=9.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 273).

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:

273 - 252 = 21

  • Remainder: 21 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

273 ÷ 28 = 9 R 21

  • 28 fits into 273 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 21.
