Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (246).
  • 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 246 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 246.

Step 3: Perform the Division

246 ÷ 9=27.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 27 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 246).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

27 x 9 = 243

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

246 - 243 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

246 ÷ 9 = 27 R 3

  • 9 fits into 246 exactly 27 times with a remainder of 3.
