Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (260).
  • 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 260 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 260.

Step 3: Perform the Division

260 ÷ 9=28.888888888889

  • Whole-number quotient: 28 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 260).

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:

260 - 252 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

260 ÷ 9 = 28 R 8

  • 9 fits into 260 exactly 28 times with a remainder of 8.
