  1. To solve the problem, we need to find out how many times 18 can be subtracted from 481 and what the remainder is.

    Let’s break it down step by step:

    1. Subtract 18 multiple times:

    – 481 – 180 = 301 (18 × 10)

    – 301 – 180 = 121 (18 × 10)

    – 121 – 90 = 31 (18 × 5)

    – 31 – 18 = 13 (18 × 1)

    – 13 is less than 18, so we stop here.

    2. Count the total subtractions:

    – We did 10 (from 480 to 300), another 10 (from 300 to 120), 5 (from 120 to 30), and 1 (from 30 to 13). That’s:

    – 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 26.

    3. Calculate the remainder:

    – After subtracting 18 a total of 26 times, we get:

    – 481 – 468 = 13 (the total of 18 * 26, which equals 468).

    – Thus, the remainder after dividing 481 by 18 is 13.

    Putting this all together, we find:

    481 ÷ 18 is equal to 26 remainder 13.

    So, filling in the blanks:

    481
