Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (248).
- 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 248 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 248.
Step 3: Perform the Division
248 ÷ 5=49.6
- Whole-number quotient: 49 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 248).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
49 x 5 = 245
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
248 - 245 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
248 ÷ 5 = 49 R 3
- 5 fits into 248 exactly 49 times with a remainder of 3.
