Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (159).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (7).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 159 ÷ 7 to determine how many times 7 fits fully into 159.

Step 3: Perform the Division

159 ÷ 7=22.714285714286

  • Whole-number quotient: 22 (the number of times 7 fits completely into 159).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

22 x 7 = 154

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

159 - 154 = 5

  • Remainder: 5 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

159 ÷ 7 = 22 R 5

  • 7 fits into 159 exactly 22 times with a remainder of 5.
