Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (159).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (5).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 159 ÷ 5 to determine how many times 5 fits fully into 159.
Step 3: Perform the Division
159 ÷ 5=31.8
- Whole-number quotient: 31 (the number of times 5 fits completely into 159).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
31 x 5 = 155
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
159 - 155 = 4
- Remainder: 4 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
159 ÷ 5 = 31 R 4
- 5 fits into 159 exactly 31 times with a remainder of 4.
