Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (278).
- 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 278 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 278.
Step 3: Perform the Division
278 ÷ 15=18.533333333333
- Whole-number quotient: 18 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 278).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
18 x 15 = 270
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
278 - 270 = 8
- Remainder: 8 (the amount left over).
