Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (254).
  • 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 254 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 254.

Step 3: Perform the Division

254 ÷ 6=42.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 42 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 254).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

42 x 6 = 252

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

254 - 252 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

254 ÷ 6 = 42 R 2

  • 6 fits into 254 exactly 42 times with a remainder of 2.
