the quotient of a number and 15 is no greater than 450.

---------------
Let the number be "x"::
Equation:
x/15 <= 456
-----
Multiply both sides by 15 to get:
x <= 15*456
x <= 6840

You first assign a variable for "a number".
n, "a number".


"quotient of a number and 15", means n%2F15.

"no greater than 450";
highlight_green%28n%2F15%3C=450%29.
Find the solution (more than one of them, a set of numbers) for n.
