Remainders in Division Problems

The video tutorial covers various strategies for handling remainders in division problems. It explains how to ignore remainders, use them as answers, round them to the nearest whole number, and convert them into fractions. Each strategy is demonstrated with example problems, and a challenge problem is provided for independent practice.
