Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (159).
- 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 159 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 159.
Step 3: Perform the Division
159 ÷ 12=13.25
- Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 159).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
13 x 12 = 156
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
159 - 156 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
159 ÷ 12 = 13 R 3
- 12 fits into 159 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 3.
