what is the repeated substraction of 12515

Here, we have to find the repeated subtraction of 125÷15.

Step 1:
  Subtract 15            125-15=110
  Subtract 15 again   110-15=95
  Subtract 15 again  95-15=80
  Subtract 15  again     80-15=65
  Subtract 15 again  65-15=50
  Subtract 15 again     50-15=35
  Subtract 15 again    35-15=20
  Subtract 15 again  20-15=5
Here we can't subtract 15 from 5 to leave a whole number. So 5 is remainder.

Step 2: Count the number of times we have subtracted 15. Here we have subtracted 8 times with remainder of 5.

So, 125÷15 = 8 remainder 2
