Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (240).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (5).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 240 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 240.
Step 3: Perform the Division
240 ÷ 5=48
- Whole-number quotient: 48 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 240).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
48 x 5 = 240
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
240 - 240 = 0
- Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
240 ÷ 5 = 48 R 0
- 5 fits into 240 exactly 48 times with a remainder of 0.
