Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (278).
- 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 278 ÷ 6 to determine how many times 6 fits fully into 278.
Step 3: Perform the Division
278 ÷ 6=46.333333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 46 (the number of times 6 fits completely into 278).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
46 x 6 = 276
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
278 - 276 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
278 ÷ 6 = 46 R 2
- 6 fits into 278 exactly 46 times with a remainder of 2.
