Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (286).
  • 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 286 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 286.

Step 3: Perform the Division

286 ÷ 15=19.066666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 19 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 286).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

19 x 15 = 285

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

286 - 285 = 1

  • Remainder: 1 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

286 ÷ 15 = 19 R 1

  • 15 fits into 286 exactly 19 times with a remainder of 1.
