Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (251).
- 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 251 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 251.
Step 3: Perform the Division
251 ÷ 5=50.2
- Whole-number quotient: 50 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 251).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
50 x 5 = 250
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
251 - 250 = 1
- Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
251 ÷ 5 = 50 R 1
- 5 fits into 251 exactly 50 times with a remainder of 1.
