Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (284).
  • 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 284 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 284.

Step 3: Perform the Division

284 ÷ 15=18.933333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 18 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 284).

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:

284 - 270 = 14

  • Remainder: 14 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

284 ÷ 15 = 18 R 14

  • 15 fits into 284 exactly 18 times with a remainder of 14.
