Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (143).
- 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 143 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 143.
Step 3: Perform the Division
143 ÷ 15=9.5333333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 9 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 143).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
9 x 15 = 135
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
143 - 135 = 8
- Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
143 ÷ 15 = 9 R 8
- 15 fits into 143 exactly 9 times with a remainder of 8.
