Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (270).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (17).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 270 ÷ 17 to determine how many times 17 fits fully into 270.

Step 3: Perform the Division

270 ÷ 17=15.882352941176

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 17 fits completely into 270).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 17 = 255

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

270 - 255 = 15

  • Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

270 ÷ 17 = 15 R 15

  • 17 fits into 270 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 15.
