Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (286).
  • 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 286 ÷ 18 to determine how many times 18 fits fully into 286.

Step 3: Perform the Division

286 ÷ 18=15.888888888889

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 18 fits completely into 286).

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:

286 - 270 = 16

  • Remainder: 16 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

286 ÷ 18 = 15 R 16

  • 18 fits into 286 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 16.
