๐ Topic Summary
Division with remainders is like splitting things into equal groups, but sometimes you can't split everything perfectly! The "remainder" is what's left over. For example, if you have 13 cookies and want to share them equally among 4 friends, each friend gets 3 cookies ($13 \div 4 = 3$) and you have 1 cookie left over. That leftover cookie is the remainder (remainder 1). Understanding remainders helps in situations where things don't divide evenly, making it easier to solve real-world problems.
