Mathematical 'division' is all about dividing up a quantity into several batches all the same size, and then finding out how much is left over after it is divided up. EXAMPLE a piece of wood is 77 cm long, and we want to 'divide ' it up to get as many pieces as possible which are all the same size. So, if we want pieces that are all 8 cm long, then the answer is :- 77/8 = 9 and 5 cm left over. The left over is called the 'Remainder' , the bit that remains.
