Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (242).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (9).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 242 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 242.

Step 3: Perform the Division

242 ÷ 9=26.888888888889

  • Whole-number quotient: 26 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 242).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

26 x 9 = 234

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

242 - 234 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

242 ÷ 9 = 26 R 8

  • 9 fits into 242 exactly 26 times with a remainder of 8.
