Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (280).
  • 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 280 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 280.

Step 3: Perform the Division

280 ÷ 15=18.666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 18 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 280).

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:

280 - 270 = 10

  • Remainder: 10 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

280 ÷ 15 = 18 R 10

  • 15 fits into 280 exactly 18 times with a remainder of 10.
