Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 6=43.5
- Whole-number quotient: 43 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 261).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
43 x 6 = 258
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
261 - 258 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 6 = 43 R 3
- 6 fits into 261 exactly 43 times with a remainder of 3.
