Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (257).
- 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 257 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 257.
Step 3: Perform the Division
257 ÷ 6=42.833333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 42 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 257).
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:
257 - 252 = 5
- Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
257 ÷ 6 = 42 R 5
- 6 fits into 257 exactly 42 times with a remainder of 5.
