Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (240).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (6).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 240 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 240.

Step 3: Perform the Division

240 ÷ 6=40

  • Whole-number quotient: 40 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 240).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

40 x 6 = 240

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

240 - 240 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

240 ÷ 6 = 40 R 0

  • 6 fits into 240 exactly 40 times with a remainder of 0.
