You have performed division. Not all numbers may be divided by all other numbers without leaving a remainder. A remainder is quite common to all division problems.

Example: 7 divided by 3 = ?

3 times 2 = 6 and 3 times 3 = 9

Since 9 is greater than seven we use 6

2 times 3 = 6

7 minus 6 = 1

but that leaves a remainder of 1

So, the answer is 2 remainder 1
