Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (255).
  • 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 255 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 255.

Step 3: Perform the Division

255 ÷ 8=31.875

  • Whole-number quotient: 31 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 255).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

31 x 8 = 248

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

255 - 248 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

255 ÷ 8 = 31 R 7

  • 8 fits into 255 exactly 31 times with a remainder of 7.
