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.
