Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (123).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (15).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 123 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 123.
Step 3: Perform the Division
123 ÷ 15=8.2
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 123).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
8 x 15 = 120
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
123 - 120 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
123 ÷ 15 = 8 R 3
- 15 fits into 123 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 3.
