Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (293).
  • 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 293 ÷ 3 to determine how many times 3 fits fully into 293.

Step 3: Perform the Division

293 ÷ 3=97.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 97 (the number of times 3 fits completely into 293).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

97 x 3 = 291

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

293 - 291 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

293 ÷ 3 = 97 R 2

  • 3 fits into 293 exactly 97 times with a remainder of 2.
