Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (287).
  • 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 287 ÷ 12 to determine how many times 12 fits fully into 287.

Step 3: Perform the Division

287 ÷ 12=23.916666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 23 (the number of times 12 fits completely into 287).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

23 x 12 = 276

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

287 - 276 = 11

  • Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

287 ÷ 12 = 23 R 11

  • 12 fits into 287 exactly 23 times with a remainder of 11.
