Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (71).
  • 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 71 ÷ 15 to determine how many times 15 fits fully into 71.

Step 3: Perform the Division

71 ÷ 15=4.7333333333333

  • Whole-number quotient: 4 (the number of times 15 fits completely into 71).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

4 x 15 = 60

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

71 - 60 = 11

  • Remainder: 11 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

71 ÷ 15 = 4 R 11

  • 15 fits into 71 exactly 4 times with a remainder of 11.
