Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (255).
- 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 255 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 255.
Step 3: Perform the Division
255 ÷ 9=28.333333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 28 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 255).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
28 x 9 = 252
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
255 - 252 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
255 ÷ 9 = 28 R 3
- 9 fits into 255 exactly 28 times with a remainder of 3.
