Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (285).
- 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 285 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 285.
Step 3: Perform the Division
285 ÷ 8=35.625
- Whole-number quotient: 35 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 285).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
35 x 8 = 280
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
285 - 280 = 5
- Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
285 ÷ 8 = 35 R 5
- 8 fits into 285 exactly 35 times with a remainder of 5.
