Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (259).
- 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 259 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 259.
Step 3: Perform the Division
259 ÷ 5=51.8
- Whole-number quotient: 51 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 259).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
51 x 5 = 255
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
259 - 255 = 4
- Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
259 ÷ 5 = 51 R 4
- 5 fits into 259 exactly 51 times with a remainder of 4.
