remainders are important because you have to know what to do with it .whether or not you have to add an additional something or whatever. for example say Jill has 13 bananas. she is going to make smoothies for her and her friend how many bananas does each person receive?

13 divided by 2 =6 r1 or if you do not want a remainder then each person would get 6 1/2 bananas.
