"Each process that is executed is divided into blocks of same size, called pages." "Thread is a part of process being executed."

Are pages and threads both part(s) of process? Whats the difference between thread as a part of process and page as a part of process?

You're looking at very vague descriptions and asking "What's the difference between these things that haven't been described properly?" For a more detailed understanding, you should, well, look for more detail, which is widely available.

A page is a block of memory; a thread is a sequence of instructions to be executed.

Paging is something to deal with memory management and Thread is an instance of a program . When we execute a multithreaded program it may have to refer memory addresses , so a thread might use a page table to access the main memory address.
