Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (278).
- 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 278 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 278.
Step 3: Perform the Division
278 ÷ 8=34.75
- Whole-number quotient: 34 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 278).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
34 x 8 = 272
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
278 - 272 = 6
- Remainder: 6 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
278 ÷ 8 = 34 R 6
- 8 fits into 278 exactly 34 times with a remainder of 6.
