In this activity, we will carry out some simple divisions by 2, 3, 4 and 5 with remainders.
Question
Calculate this division and find the remainder:
28 ÷ 5
Answer
We have to find out how many fives go into 28.
We can do this using a number line.
It goes 5 times and there is a remainder of 3.
5 x 5 = 25
28 - 25 = 3
