Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (252).
  • 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 252 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 252.

Step 3: Perform the Division

252 ÷ 5=50.4

  • Whole-number quotient: 50 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 252).

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:

252 - 250 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

252 ÷ 5 = 50 R 2

  • 5 fits into 252 exactly 50 times with a remainder of 2.
