Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (255).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (20).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 255 ÷ 20 to determine how many times 20 fits fully into 255.
Step 3: Perform the Division
255 ÷ 20=12.75
- Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 20 fits completely into 255).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
12 x 20 = 240
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
255 - 240 = 15
- Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
255 ÷ 20 = 12 R 15
- 20 fits into 255 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 15.
