Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (279).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (18).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 279 ÷ 18 to determine how many times 18 fits fully into 279.

Step 3: Perform the Division

279 ÷ 18=15.5

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 18 fits completely into 279).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 18 = 270

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

279 - 270 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

279 ÷ 18 = 15 R 9

  • 18 fits into 279 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 9.
