Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (187).
- 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 187 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 187.
Step 3: Perform the Division
187 ÷ 15=12.466666666667
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 187).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
12 x 15 = 180
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
187 - 180 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
187 ÷ 15 = 12 R 7
- 15 fits into 187 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 7.
