Dividing with Remainders
Grade 3 · Math · Division · Oregon, USA
Lesson Summary
Sometimes things do not split into perfectly equal groups. The leftover part is called a remainder.
Explanation
If you have 13 cookies and put them into groups of 4, you get 3 full groups with 1 cookie left over. You write 13 ÷ 4 = 3 R1. The R stands for remainder. Remainders are always smaller than the number you are dividing by. If the remainder were bigger, you could make another full group.
Practice Questions
Q1: What is 14 ÷ 3?
Answer: 4 R2, because 3 × 4 = 12 and 14 − 12 = 2 left over.
Q2: What is 25 ÷ 6?
Answer: 4 R1, because 6 × 4 = 24 and 25 − 24 = 1 left over.
Q3: What is 17 ÷ 5?
Answer: 3 R2, because 5 × 3 = 15 and 17 − 15 = 2 left over.
