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

- 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).
