Step By Step Calculation
Step 1: Understand Division Terms
- Dividend: The number being divided (159).
- Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (8).
- Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
- Remainder: The amount left over after division.
Step 2: Set Up the Division
Calculate 159 ÷ 8 to determine how many times 8 fits fully into 159.
Step 3: Perform the Division
159 ÷ 8=19.875
- Whole-number quotient: 19 (the number of times 8 fits completely into 159).
Step 4: Verify the Quotient
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:
19 x 8 = 152
Step 5: Calculate the Remainder
Subtract this product from the original dividend:
159 - 152 = 7
- Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).
Final Answer
159 ÷ 8 = 19 R 7
- 8 fits into 159 exactly 19 times with a remainder of 7.
