Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (288).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (21).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 288 ÷ 21 to determine how many times 21 fits fully into 288.
Step 3: Perform the Division
288 ÷ 21=13.714285714286
- Whole-number quotient: 13 (the number of times 21 fits completely into 288).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
13 x 21 = 273
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
288 - 273 = 15
- Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
288 ÷ 21 = 13 R 15
- 21 fits into 288 exactly 13 times with a remainder of 15.
