Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (261).
- 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 261 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 261.
Step 3: Perform the Division
261 ÷ 7=37.285714285714
- Whole-number quotient: 37 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 261).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
37 x 7 = 259
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
261 - 259 = 2
- Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
261 ÷ 7 = 37 R 2
- 7 fits into 261 exactly 37 times with a remainder of 2.
