Answer: $1,365 \div 5 = 273$ ✅

Division with Remainders

$247 \div 6 = 41$ R $1$

Check: $41 \times 6 + 1 = 246 + 1 = 247$ ✓

Interpreting Remainders

The remainder's meaning depends on context:

• Drop it: "How many full boxes?" → Use quotient only
• Round up: "How many buses needed?" → Add 1 to quotient
• Use as fraction: "Share equally" → $41\frac{1}{6}$

Dividing by Two-Digit Numbers

Example: $7,344 \div 24$

Estimate: $7,200 \div 24 = 300$

Use long division to get exact answer: $7,344 \div 24 = 306$

Checking Division

Always check: $\text{quotient} \times \text{divisor} + \text{remainder} = \text{dividend}$

Estimation tip: Round the divisor to the nearest ten to estimate each step of long division.
