Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (279).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (4).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 279 ÷ 4 to determine how many times 4 fits fully into 279.

Step 3: Perform the Division

279 ÷ 4=69.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 69 (the number of times 4 fits completely into 279).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

69 x 4 = 276

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

279 - 276 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

279 ÷ 4 = 69 R 3

  • 4 fits into 279 exactly 69 times with a remainder of 3.
