Let the number be represented by x. We are given the quotient of x and 15 is 120, which can be written as x/15 = 120.
To find the number x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 15, since dividing by 15 on one side will cancel it out on the other side:
x/15 * 15 = 120 * 15
Simplifying, we get:
x = 1800
Therefore, the number is 1800.
