Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (240).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (7).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 240 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 240.

Step 3: Perform the Division

240 ÷ 7=34.285714285714

  • Whole-number quotient: 34 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 240).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

34 x 7 = 238

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

240 - 238 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

240 ÷ 7 = 34 R 2

  • 7 fits into 240 exactly 34 times with a remainder of 2.
