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.
