Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (284).
  • 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 284 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 284.

Step 3: Perform the Division

284 ÷ 3=94.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 94 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 284).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

94 x 3 = 282

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

284 - 282 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

284 ÷ 3 = 94 R 2

  • 3 fits into 284 exactly 94 times with a remainder of 2.
