Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (279).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (22).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 279 ÷ 22 to determine how many times 22 fits fully into 279.

Step 3: Perform the Division

279 ÷ 22=12.681818181818

  • Whole-number quotient: 12 (the number of times 22 fits completely into 279).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

12 x 22 = 264

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

279 - 264 = 15

  • Remainder: 15 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

279 ÷ 22 = 12 R 15

  • 22 fits into 279 exactly 12 times with a remainder of 15.
