Division is a mathematical operation that finds the number of times one quantity is contained in another. The remainder is the amount left over after dividing the two quantities.
The process for solving a division and remainder problem is to divide the two quantities and then find the remainder. The remainder is always less than the divisor.
You can check your work by multiplying the quotient (the result of division) by the divisor and adding the remainder. The result should be equal to the dividend (the number being divided).
Some common mistakes include forgetting to include the remainder, incorrectly dividing the two quantities, and not using the correct order of operations.
One helpful tip is to use estimation to check your work. You can also break down larger numbers into smaller ones to make the division easier.
