Division with Remainder

When division is not exact and remainder

If you divide 13 bananas evenly between Joe and Sally, how much does each one get? 13 ÷ 2 = ? We say that Joe and Sally both get 6 bananas and one is left over.  The leftover banana is called the remainder.  Or, if we don't want leftovers or remainders, both would get 6 1/2 bananas. 13 ÷ 2 = 6, remainder 1.

14 bananas divided between 3 people gives 4 bananas to each and 2 bananas that cannot  be divided.  14 ÷ 3 = 4, remainder 2

8 scissors divided between 5 people gives 1 scissors to each and 3 scissors that cannot be divided. 8 ÷ 5= 1, remainder 3
