Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (282).
  • 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 282 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 282.

Step 3: Perform the Division

282 ÷ 15=18.8

  • Whole-number quotient: 18 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 282).

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:

282 - 270 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

282 ÷ 15 = 18 R 12

  • 15 fits into 282 exactly 18 times with a remainder of 12.
