  • Dividend: The number being divided (279).
  • 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 279 ÷ 28 to determine how many times 28 fits fully into 279.

Step 3: Perform the Division

279 ÷ 28=9.9642857142857

  • Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 28 fits completely into 279).

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:

279 - 252 = 27

  • Remainder: 27 (the amount left over).
