Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (257).
  • 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 257 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 257.

Step 3: Perform the Division

257 ÷ 7=36.714285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 36 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 257).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

36 x 7 = 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 ÷ 7 = 36 R 5

  • 7 fits into 257 exactly 36 times with a remainder of 5.
