Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (268).
  • 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 268 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 268.

Step 3: Perform the Division

268 ÷ 15=17.866666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 17 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 268).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

17 x 15 = 255

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

268 - 255 = 13

  • Remainder: 13 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

268 ÷ 15 = 17 R 13

  • 15 fits into 268 exactly 17 times with a remainder of 13.
