Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (48).
- 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 48 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 48.
Step 3: Perform the Division
48 ÷ 15=3.2
- Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 48).
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:
48 - 45 = 3
- Remainder: 3 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
48 ÷ 15 = 3 R 3
- 15 fits into 48 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 3.
