- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (24).
- 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 24 fits completely into 140).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
5 x 24 = 120
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
140 - 120 = 20
- Remainder: 20 (the amount left over).
