Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (252).
  • 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 252 ÷ 16 to determine how many times 16 fits fully into 252.

Step 3: Perform the Division

252 ÷ 16=15.75

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 16 fits completely into 252).

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:

252 - 240 = 12

  • Remainder: 12 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

252 ÷ 16 = 15 R 12

  • 16 fits into 252 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 12.
