Example Questions
Example Question #21 : How To Divide
Which number is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2?
The number 88 is divisble by 8 with no remainder. (8 times 11 is 88.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 8 with a remainder of 2 would be equal to 88 plus 2. This gives us 90, the correct answer.
Example Question #22 : How To Divide
Which of the following numbers is divisble by 3 without a remainder, but not by 6?
21 is divisibly by 3 without a remainder (3 times 7 is 21). However, it is not divisible by 6, as there will be a remainder. (21 divided by 6 is 3, remainder 3.)
Therefore, 21 is the correct answer.
Example Question #23 : How To Divide
Which number is divisible by 16 with a remainder of 5?
The number 32 is divisble by 16 with no remainder. (16 times 2 is 32.) Therefore, a number that is divisble by 16 with a remainder of 5 would be equal to 32 plus 5. This gives us 37, the correct answer.
Example Question #274 : Numbers And Operations
What is the value of the expression below?
The first step to solve this equation is the solve for the parentheses.
The next step is to carry out the division operation. This results in:
Therefore, 12 is the correct answer.

The term "quotient" indicates division.
Example Question #25 : How To Divide
Madeline shares two sandwiches with five of her friends. Including Madeline, how much does each person have to eat?
If Madeline shares two sandwiches with five of her friends, then six people will be sharing two sandwiches.
Therefore each person gets 
Example Question #26 : How To Divide
What is the greatest common factor of 15 and 10?
The factors of 15 are 1, 15, 3, and 5.
The factors of 10 are 1, 10, 2, and 5.
The common factors that 10 and 15 share are 1 and 5. Thus, 5 is the greatest common factor.
Example Question #27 : How To Divide
Which of the following is not a factor of 
The product of 
The factors of 36 are 1, 16, 2, 18, 3, 12, 4, 9, 6.
Thus, 8 is the only number listed above that is not a factor of 36.
Example Question #28 : How To Divide
Maria has 15 cookies. She wants to share the cookies so that she and three friends each get the same number. If she shares the cookies equally, how many cookies will be left over?
None of these
Sharing between Maria and her three friends means that the cookies will be shared between a total of four people.
Divide 15 by 4:
Each person can have 3 cookies, and there will be a remainder of 3. Our answer is that 3 cookies will be left over (the remainder).
Example Question #29 : How To Divide
Becca has 9 cookies that she is going to give to 3 of her friends in equal amounts. How many cookies does each friend get?
If Becca has 9 cookies that she is going to give to 3 of her friends in equal amounts, then the number of cookies that each friend gets can be found by dividing 9 by 3.
This results in 3, the correct answer.
