- Dividend: The number being divided (159).
- 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

Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
6 x 23 = 138
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
159 - 138 = 21
- Remainder: 21 (the amount left over).
