Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (132).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (23).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division

- Whole-number quotient: 5 (the number of times 23 fits completely into 132).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
5 x 23 = 115
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
132 - 115 = 17
- Remainder: 17 (the amount left over).
