Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (52).
  • 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 52 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 52.

Step 3: Perform the Division

52 ÷ 15=3.4666666666667

  • Whole-number quotient: 3 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 52).

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:

52 - 45 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

52 ÷ 15 = 3 R 7

  • 15 fits into 52 exactly 3 times with a remainder of 7.
