Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (187).
  • 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 187 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 187.

Step 3: Perform the Division

187 ÷ 12=15.583333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 187).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 12 = 180

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

187 - 180 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

187 ÷ 12 = 15 R 7

  • 12 fits into 187 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 7.
