Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (32).
  • 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 32 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 32.

Step 3: Perform the Division

32 ÷ 15=2.1333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 2 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 32).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

2 x 15 = 30

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

32 - 30 = 2

  • Remainder: 2 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

32 ÷ 15 = 2 R 2

  • 15 fits into 32 exactly 2 times with a remainder of 2.
