Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (252).
  • 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 252 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 252.

Step 3: Perform the Division

252 ÷ 3=84

  • Whole-number quotient: 84 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 252).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

84 x 3 = 252

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

252 - 252 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

252 ÷ 3 = 84 R 0

  • 3 fits into 252 exactly 84 times with a remainder of 0.
