Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (159).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (19).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 159 ÷ 19 to determine how many times 19 fits fully into 159.

Step 3: Perform the Division

159 ÷ 19=8.3684210526316

  • Whole-number quotient: 8 (the number of times 19 fits completely into 159).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

8 x 19 = 152

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

159 - 152 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

159 ÷ 19 = 8 R 7

  • 19 fits into 159 exactly 8 times with a remainder of 7.
