Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (288).
  • 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 288 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 288.

Step 3: Perform the Division

288 ÷ 15=19.2

  • Whole-number quotient: 19 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 288).

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:

288 - 285 = 3

  • Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

288 ÷ 15 = 19 R 3

  • 15 fits into 288 exactly 19 times with a remainder of 3.
