The remainder is the amount that cannot be divided into the equation, in other words, the leftovers.
Example:
7 / 2 = 3
So now to figure out the remainder we multiply the divider by the answer.
[in other words: 7 / (divider) = (answer)]
[divider * answer]
2 * 3 = 6
So now to calculate the remainder we subtract this new answer by the number we started out with, in this case 7.
7 - 6 = 1
So the remainder is 1

The answer to a division is the quotient
Remainders (on division) rather than division itself.
The answer depends on the level of mathematics you are at: from simple remainders left when one number is divided by another to the remainder theorem where is is the division of one polynomial by another.
It really helps a lot to know your times tables inside-out.
