Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (127).
  • 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 127 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 127.

Step 3: Perform the Division

127 ÷ 15=8.4666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 127).

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:

127 - 120 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

127 ÷ 15 = 8 R 7

  • 15 fits into 127 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 7.
