Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (240).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (16).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 240 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 240.

Step 3: Perform the Division

240 ÷ 16=15

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 240).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 16 = 240

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

240 - 240 = 0

  • Remainder: 0 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

240 ÷ 16 = 15 R 0

  • 16 fits into 240 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 0.
