Example Question #1 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders
Kevin has won toys from a competition and decides to keep toys for himself. He would like to give the rest of the toys to four of his close friends.
If each of Kevin's friends receive the same number of toys from Kevin, how many will be remaining?
The correct answer is 2 remaining toys. Kevin has 34 toys to start and he keeps 4 for himself. This means that he has 30 toys to give to four friends.
When we divide 30 by 4, we get 7.5. Since each friend cannot get half a toy, each friend can receive 7 toys.
This means that of the 30 toys, there will be 2 toys remaining.
Example Question #2 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders
What is the result (with the remainder) in the above equation?
We divide the top by the bottom.
Test how many times 10 fits into 32 (try 3 times).
We subtract 30 from 32:
10 cannot fit into 2 so the remainder is 2.

Simply divide to answer this question:
remainder .
The maximum number of times can go into is , and you have left over.
To put it another way, . If you subtract from , you are left with , so that's your remainder.

is not evenly divisible by . As such, you want to first find out how many whole 's can go into .
, so is too many.
, which is as close to as you can get.
, so that's your remainder.
Example Question #5 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders
Carla and four of her friends are having a sleep over. Carla has seventeen blankets in her house. She wants to distribute her blankets evenly among all of the people at the sleepover (her included). How many blankets does each person get? How many are left over?
blankets each, left over
blankets each, left over
blankets each, left over
blankets each, left over
blankets each, left over
blankets each, left over
So, we have blankets, and sleep over attendees.
can go into a maxiumum of times without going over, so each attendee gets blankets.
, , so there are blankets left over.
Example Question #4 : Division With Whole Numbers And Remainders
What is
When you are dealing with negative numbers, the following rules apply.
If there are no negative signs, the answer is positive.
If there is one negative sign, the answer is negative.
If there are two negative signs, the answer is positive.
, and since there is only one negative sign the answer is negative. is the solution.
Example Question #1 : How To Subtract Integers
Evaluate the following:
When you subtract integers, it is the same thing as adding the inverse of the second integer. You can consider the following:
You can also consider the problem as asking for six less than negative four. This will also get you to the answer of .
