Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (132).
- 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 132 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 132.
Step 3: Perform the Division
132 ÷ 15=8.8
- Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 132).
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:
132 - 120 = 12
- Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
132 ÷ 15 = 8 R 12
- 15 fits into 132 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 12.
