Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (172).
- 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 172 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 172.
Step 3: Perform the Division
172 ÷ 15=11.466666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 11 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 172).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
11 x 15 = 165
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
172 - 165 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
172 ÷ 15 = 11 R 7
- 15 fits into 172 exactly 11 times with a remainder of 7.
