Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (259).
- 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 259 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 259.
Step 3: Perform the Division
259 ÷ 8=32.375
- Whole-number quotient: 32 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 259).
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:
259 - 256 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
259 ÷ 8 = 32 R 3
- 8 fits into 259 exactly 32 times with a remainder of 3.
