Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (218).
  • 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 218 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 218.

Step 3: Perform the Division

218 ÷ 15=14.533333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 14 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 218).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

14 x 15 = 210

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

218 - 210 = 8

  • Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

218 ÷ 15 = 14 R 8

  • 15 fits into 218 exactly 14 times with a remainder of 8.
