Division with remainders

Front

What is division with remainders?

Back

Division with remainders occurs when a number cannot be evenly divided by another number, resulting in a whole number (the quotient) and a leftover amount (the remainder).

What does the 'r' in '9 r 2' stand for?

Back

The 'r' stands for 'remainder'. In '9 r 2', 9 is the quotient and 2 is the remainder.

Front

How do you find the quotient in division?

Back

To find the quotient, divide the dividend (the number being divided) by the divisor (the number you are dividing by).

Front

What is the remainder in division?

Back

The remainder is what is left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor.

Front

If 47 ÷ 5 = 9 r 2, what does this mean?

Back

It means that 47 divided by 5 equals 9 with a remainder of 2.

Front

How do you handle remainders when solving real-life problems?

Back

In real-life problems, you may need to round up the quotient if there is a remainder, especially when dealing with items that cannot be split.

Front

What is the first step in solving a division problem?

Back

The first step is to identify the dividend and the divisor.

Front

If a page holds 5 stickers and you have 34 stickers, how many pages do you need?

Back

You need 7 pages, because 34 ÷ 5 = 6 r 4, and you add 1 to the quotient to account for the remainder.

Front

How do you determine how many students will sit in the last row if there are 476 students and each row holds 9?

Back

You calculate 476 ÷ 9 = 52 r 8, meaning 8 students will sit in the last row.

Front

What is the formula to find the number of vans needed for a field trip if each van holds 9 students and there are 139 students?

Back

You calculate 139 ÷ 9 = 15 r 4, and since you can't have a fraction of a van, you add 1 to the quotient, needing 16 vans.
