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
