Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (279).
- 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 279 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 279.
Step 3: Perform the Division
279 ÷ 8=34.875
- Whole-number quotient: 34 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 279).
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:
279 - 272 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
279 ÷ 8 = 34 R 7
- 8 fits into 279 exactly 34 times with a remainder of 7.
