Division with and without Remainders

Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It answers the question: how many times does one number fit into another?

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another.

A remainder is the amount left over after division when one number does not divide evenly into another.

You express it as 'quotient R remainder', for example, 25 R 1.

Dividing with remainders means that the number cannot be divided evenly, resulting in a leftover amount.

The quotient is 7 and the remainder is 3, expressed as 7 R 3.

You divide the total number by the size of each group to find out how many groups can be formed.

648 divided by 8 equals 81.
