Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (256).
  • 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 256 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 256.

Step 3: Perform the Division

256 ÷ 8=32

  • Whole-number quotient: 32 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 256).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

32 x 8 = 256

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

256 - 256 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

256 ÷ 8 = 32 R 0

  • 8 fits into 256 exactly 32 times with a remainder of 0.
