Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (157).
- 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 157 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 157.
Step 3: Perform the Division
157 ÷ 15=10.466666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 10 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 157).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
10 x 15 = 150
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
157 - 150 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
157 ÷ 15 = 10 R 7
