Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (237).
  • 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 237 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 237.

Step 3: Perform the Division

237 ÷ 15=15.8

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 237).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 15 = 225

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

237 - 225 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

237 ÷ 15 = 15 R 12

  • 15 fits into 237 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 12.
