Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (245).
  • 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 245 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 245.

Step 3: Perform the Division

245 ÷ 15=16.333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 16 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 245).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

16 x 15 = 240

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

245 - 240 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

245 ÷ 15 = 16 R 5

  • 15 fits into 245 exactly 16 times with a remainder of 5.
