Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (159).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (25).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 159 ÷ 25 to determine how many times 25 fits fully into 159.

Step 3: Perform the Division

159 ÷ 25=6.36

  • Whole-number quotient: 6 (the number of times 25 fits completely into 159).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

6 x 25 = 150

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

159 - 150 = 9

  • Remainder: 9 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

159 ÷ 25 = 6 R 9

  • 25 fits into 159 exactly 6 times with a remainder of 9.
