Does a unit vector give the direction of the original vector?

Ok, so a vector is direction and magnitude, and by finding the unit vector we divide the vector by the length of that vector, |v|

does that mean we get the direction of the vector?

tanks a bunch

The direction is the same as that of vector $$\vec{v}$$ under consideration.
