Dividing with Remainders for 4th Grade
A remainder is what is left when the divisor no longer fits a whole number of times, and what to do with it depends on the question: round up, drop it, or report it. The examples below cover all three interpretations, with practice problems.
DETAILED EXPLANATION
Sometimes division does not come out even; the amount left over is the remainder. We write it as 47 ÷ 5 = 9 R 2, meaning 9 groups of 5 with 2 left over.
