Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (153).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (12).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 153 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 153.

Step 3: Perform the Division

153 ÷ 12=12.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 153).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

12 x 12 = 144

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

153 - 144 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

153 ÷ 12 = 12 R 9

  • 12 fits into 153 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 9.
