Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (281).
  • 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 281 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 281.

Step 3: Perform the Division

281 ÷ 7=40.142857142857

  • Whole-number quotient: 40 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 281).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

40 x 7 = 280

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

281 - 280 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

281 ÷ 7 = 40 R 1

  • 7 fits into 281 exactly 40 times with a remainder of 1.
