Example Question #1 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders

Kevin has won toys from a competition and decides to keep toys for himself. He would like to give the rest of the toys to four of his close friends.

If each of Kevin's friends receive the same number of toys from Kevin, how many will be remaining?

Possible Answers:

$1 \text{ Toy}$

$2 \text{ Toys}$

$3 \text{ Toys}$

$7 \text{ Toys}$

$4 \text{ Toys}$

Correct answer:

$2 \text{ Toys}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is 2 remaining toys. Kevin has 34 toys to start and he keeps 4 for himself. This means that he has 30 toys to give to four friends.

When we divide 30 by 4, we get 7.5. Since each friend cannot get half a toy, each friend can receive 7 toys.

$4\cdot 7=28$

30-28=2

This means that of the 30 toys, there will be 2 toys remaining.

Example Question #2 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders

$\frac{32}{10}=?$

What is the result (with the remainder) in the above equation?

Possible Answers:

2R2

3R4

3R2

Correct answer:

3R2

Explanation:

We divide the top by the bottom.

$\frac{32}{10}$

Test how many times 10 fits into 32 (try 3 times).

$10\cdot3=30$

We subtract 30 from 32:

32-30=2

10 cannot fit into 2 so the remainder is 2.
