Does paging (non contiguous allocation method) removes external fragmentation completely ? If yes, is there no chance of internal fragmentation? If possible , illustrate with example.

Using paging, we divide the process into pages. These pages is going to fit into the frames in the main memory. These pages need not to be contiguous they can be present any where in the memory. So there will be No External Fragmentation. 

But when we divide the process into pages, it so happen that last page is not completely filled ( As page size is fixed ). So there is an internal fragmentation which is very very less compared to fixed partition.
