Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (251).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (3).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 251 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 251.
Step 3: Perform the Division
251 ÷ 3=83.666666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 83 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 251).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
83 x 3 = 249
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
251 - 249 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
251 ÷ 3 = 83 R 2
- 3 fits into 251 exactly 83 times with a remainder of 2.
