Suppose you and your friend want to divide 9 polished rocks between you so that you each get the same number of polished rocks. You will each get 4 rocks with 1 rock left over. You can say that the quotient 9 ÷ 2 has a remainder of 1.
Sometimes a remainder is written as a fraction of the divisor. For example, you can write 9 ÷ 2 = 4 1/2.
Example 1 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 30 is divided by 8.
Solution :
Divide 30 by 8 using long division.
Quotient = 3
Remainder = 6
Example 2 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 258 is divided by 9.
Solution :
Divide 258 by 9 using long division.
Quotient = 28
Remainder = 9
Example 3 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 300 is divided by 7.
Solution :
Divide 300 by 7 using long division.
Quotient = 42
Remainder = 7
Example 4 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 400 is divided by 8.
Solution :
Divide 400 by 8 using long division.
Quotient = 50
Remainder = 0
Example 5 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 750 is divided by 16.
Solution :
Divide 750 by 16 using long division.
Quotient = 46
Remainder = 14
Example 6 :
Find the quotient and remainder when 1675 is divided by 13.
Solution :
Divide 1675 by 13 using long division.
Quotient = 128
Remainder = 13
Example 7 :
Callie has 1,850 books. She must pack them into boxes to ship to a bookstore. Each box holds 12 books. How many boxes will she need to pack all of the books ?
Solution :
To find the number of boxed that she needs to pack all of the books, divide 1850 by 12 using long division.
Quotient = 154
Remainder = 2
Callie can pack the books in 154 boxes perfectly and with 2 books left. So, she needs 155 boxes to pack all the books.
