Division with Remainders

Front

What is division?

Back

Division is the process of splitting a number into equal parts. It tells us how many times one number is contained within another.

Front

What does it mean to have a remainder in division?

Back

A remainder is the amount left over after division when one number cannot be divided evenly by another.

Front

How do you express a division problem with a remainder?

Back

You can express it as 'A divided by B equals C with a remainder of D', where A is the dividend, B is the divisor, C is the quotient, and D is the remainder.

Front

What is the quotient in a division problem?

Back

The quotient is the result of dividing one number by another, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

Front

If you divide 10 by 3, what is the quotient and the remainder?

Back

The quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1, because 3 fits into 10 three times (3 x 3 = 9) and 1 is left over.

Front

What is the formula for division?

Back

The formula for division is: Dividend ÷ Divisor = Quotient + Remainder.

Front

Can you give an example of a division problem with a remainder?

Back

Sure! 14 ÷ 5 = 2 with a remainder of 4.

Front

What is the relationship between multiplication and division?

Back

Multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you know that 4 x 3 = 12, then you can also say 12 ÷ 4 = 3.

Front

How can you check your division answer?

Back

You can check your division answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder. If it equals the dividend, your answer is correct.

Front

What happens if the dividend is smaller than the divisor?

Back

If the dividend is smaller than the divisor, the quotient is 0 and the dividend is the remainder.
