What is the quotient and remainder when 903 is divided by 4?
225 R0
226 R3
225 R3
224 R7
Explanation
4 × 225 = 900 and 903 − 900 = 3, so 903 ÷ 4 = 225 R3. If you try 226, 4 × 226 = 904, which is too big. The remainder must be less than 4.
There are 134 pencils. Each pack holds 5 pencils. How many packs are needed to hold all the pencils?
26 packs
27 packs
25 packs
24 packs
Explanation
134 ÷ 5 = 26 R4 because 5 × 26 = 130 and 134 − 130 = 4. The remainder means 4 pencils don't fit, so one more pack is needed: 26 + 1 = 27 packs.
A baker has 215 cookies and puts 8 cookies on each tray. How many full trays can the baker make, and how many cookies are left over?
26 trays and 7 cookies left
27 trays and 0 cookies left
26 trays and 1 cookie left
25 trays and 15 cookies left
Explanation
215 ÷ 8 = 26 R7 because 8 × 26 = 208 and 215 − 208 = 7. That means 26 full trays, with 7 cookies left over.
What is the quotient and remainder when 287 is divided by 6?
48 R5
46 R11
47 R1
47 R5
Explanation
6 × 47 = 282 and 287 − 282 = 5, so 287 ÷ 6 = 47 R5. If the quotient were 48, 6 × 48 = 288 would be too large. The remainder must be less than the divisor.
