what does 255 divided by 15 equal?

Question

How can I get 255 divided by 15. I need details how to do it I dont even Know if i got it right.Is it 16

Answer 1

17 is the correct answer. use either long division or a calculator.

255/15=17

15 into 25=1
leaving 10.
15 into 105= 7

Answer =17

Answer 2

255 Divided By 2

Answer 3

Okay, pretend that what you see below is the normal division sign with 15 on the outside and 255 on the inside.
.....___
15)255

Ignore the .... 's and use your imagination

Okay... so let's call 15, the number outside the sign, and 255 the number inside the sign. No special reason for calling them these things, just a way to make it clear which number I'm refering to.

Since the number outside the sign (15) is two digits, look at the first two digits inside the sign... (in this case 25)... ask yourself, how many 15's can fit in 25. You know that 15 x 2 is 30, so that's too much... because 30 is greater than 25. But 15 x 1= 15 which is okay because it's under 25. So you put "1" over the first "5" in "255" ... like this

....._1_
15)255

So now, do the multiplication of 15 x 1, and write the answer under the "25" of 255. Like this...

... ._1_
15)255
.....15

now subtract the 15 from the "25" ... you get 10 (25 - 15 = 10) nd write the answer under the 15 as if it were a subtraction problem, like this:

....._1_
15)255
.....15
....-__
.....10

Now bring down the next number from the number inside the sign, in this case "5" , like this...

....._1_
15)255
.....15
....-__
.....105

Look at the 15 and ask yourself, how many times does 15 go into 105... if you need a hand, remember that 15 x 2 = 30, which means 15 x 4 = 60 and 15 x 6 = 90, which is just 15 away from 105, so 15 goes into 105, 7 times (15 x 7 = 105).

So, write your "7" over the second "5" in 255 and as before do the multiplication and the subtraction. Like this...

....._17
15)255
.....15
....-__
.....105
.....105 (this is from 7 x 15)
....-___
.........0

So, that's how you divide and write out the answer. You can use this method on other numbers too. You know when to stop when you reach 0 as the final answer for the subtraction you do underneath the number inside the sign, and you have run out of numbers to bring down from the underneath the sign.

Note, it is important to remember where you put the numbers above the sign (in this example, the "1" and the "7" of 17) because where they go helps you to remember their value. The "1" is above the first "5" in 255, which means it is in the tens column. The "7" is above the second "5" of 255, which means it is in the ones column. So, your answer is 17 and not 170.

If we were talking about 15)2550 , instead, the answer would be this:

....._170
15)2550
.....15
....-__
.....105
.....105
....-___
.........00
...........0
......-___
...........0

You would have to bring down that extra 0 and go through the multiplication.

Now for another twist. If we were talking about 15)258 ...
watch what happens...

....._17
15)258
.....15
....-__
.....108
.....105
....-___
.........3

You've run out of numbers underneath the sign, but you haven't reached 0 in your subtraction underneath the sign.

This is where you start bringing down "0's" and using decimals in the number above the sign. What happens is that you imagine that 258 is really 258.0, so you have a "0" to bring down to help you deal with the "3" that was left over. Watch...

....._17
15)258(.0)
.....15
....-__
.....108
.....105
....-___
.........30

Next step is to ask the question again how many 15's in 30... 2, right? So... you write the "2" next to the "7" in 17, but you place a decimal point between the "2" and the "7" because the "2" is over the imaginary ".0" in the number over the sign.


....._17.2
15)258(.0)
.....15
....-__
.....108
.....105
....-___
.........30
.........30
....-____
...........0

So you're answer is 258 divided by 15 is 17.2

And you can use the imaginary .0s as far as you want... for example, you can take on ".00" or ".000" as much as you need to resolve the subtraction under the number under the sign... to get it to "0".

Answer 4

The answer is 17. When multiplying or dividing a number that ends in 5, the result will always have a zero or 5. IF you multiply 15 by 16 (the opposite of division), your answer will be 240. This is 15 less than 255, hence the number you want is 17.
In this particular division problem, you first divide 25 by 15 to get the first number in the answer, 1. !5 X 1 = 15. 25 - 15 leaves 10.
bring down the remaining 5 from 255, you get 105. Now you need a number that when multiplied by 15 will give you 105, 7!!!.

Answer 5

255= 3 x 5 x 17

15 = 3 x 5

Then 255/15 = (3 x 5 x 17) / (3 x 5)

= (15 x 17) / 15 = 17

Answer 6

255/15=51/3(dividing by 5)
=17/1 (dividing by 3)

Answer 7

255/15=51/3=17

Answer 8

17

Answer 9

17

Answer 10

in simple maths division is nothing but separating the one single quantity into many wrt some number.
here u need 15 times of 255

if u divide 255 wrt 15 u will get 17 parts

hence the answer is 17
