Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 5=52.2
- Whole-number quotient: 52 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 261).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
52 x 5 = 260
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
261 - 260 = 1
- Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 5 = 52 R 1
- 5 fits into 261 exactly 52 times with a remainder of 1.
