Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (45).
  • 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 45 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 45.

Step 3: Perform the Division

45 ÷ 15=3

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 45).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

3 x 15 = 45

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

45 - 45 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

45 ÷ 15 = 3 R 0

  • 15 fits into 45 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 0.
