Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (242).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (8).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 242 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 242.

Step 3: Perform the Division

242 ÷ 8=30.25

  • Whole-number quotient: 30 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 242).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

30 x 8 = 240

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

242 - 240 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

242 ÷ 8 = 30 R 2

  • 8 fits into 242 exactly 30 times with a remainder of 2.
