Division with Remainders

A community adventure club is getting equipment ready for a weekend trip. Solve each division problem and decide what the remainder means in context. Show enough working to explain your thinking.

Make Equal Groups

Use division facts and multiplication to find the quotient and remainder.

1.The club has 157 snack bars to share equally among 6 walking groups. How many bars does each group get, and how many are left over?

2.A supply crate holds 8 drink bottles. Which statement correctly describes 73 ÷ 8?

8 remainder 9
9 remainder 1
9 remainder 8
10 remainder 1

3.Complete the number line jumps to show 46 ÷ 7. Each jump is one full group of 7. How many full jumps reach the closest total below 46, and what is the remainder?

Choose What the Remainder Means

A remainder can be left over, shared as a fraction, or used to decide how many containers or trips are needed.

4.The club has 248 glow sticks. They are packed into bundles of 9. How many complete bundles can be made, and how many glow sticks will be left?

5.A van can carry 14 people. There are 99 club members going on the trip. How many vans are needed so that everyone can travel?

6.True or false: If a whole number is divided by 5, the remainder must be less than 5. Explain your choice with an example.

7.A 4-litre water container is divided equally among 5 teams. What fraction of a litre does each team receive?

Check and Explain

Use the division relationship: dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder.

8.Find the missing number: □ ÷ 7 = 18 remainder 4. Show how you worked it out.

9.Evaluate 203 ÷ 9. Write the answer as a quotient with a remainder, then check it using multiplication and addition.

10.A team has 86 tent pegs and wants to divide them equally among 8 tents. Complete the statement: Each tent gets ___ pegs, with ___ pegs left over. Explain why the remainder cannot be 8 or more.
