Division: FAQ
Frequently asked questions about division.
What is a remainder?
When we divide one number by another, sometimes the division doesn't come out evenly. The remainder is the part that's left over.
For example, when we divide by , we get a quotient of with a remainder of .

What is division with place value?
When we divide larger numbers, we can break them down into smaller chunks using place value.
For example, when we divide by , we can divide the by , the by , and the by and then add the quotients together.

How can we use area models to help us divide?
An area model is a way of visually breaking down a multiplication or division problem into smaller parts. We can use an area model to show the distributive property of multiplication and division.
For example, we can break apart using the area model below.

What is multi-digit division with partial quotients?
When we divide multi-digit numbers, we can use partial quotients to break the problem down into smaller chunks. For example, when we divide by , we can break down into .

Where do we use division in the real world?
We use division all the time! For example, we might use it to split a bill evenly between a group of friends, to calculate a batting average in baseball, or to figure out how many servings of food we can make from a recipe.
