Division With Remainders

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

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

143 R3

4 R4

21 R2

253 R2

435 R1

You write the quotient followed by 'R' and then the remainder. For example, 5 R2 means 5 with a remainder of 2.

The quotient is the result of the division, representing how many times the divisor fits into the dividend.

The quotient is 3 and the remainder is 1, so it can be written as 3 R1.
