FRAME 1-7.
Solution to
If the divisor does not go into the dividend evenly, an amount is left over.
Frame 1-6
The quantity left is called the remainder. For example, when the number
19 is divided by 6, the quotient is 3 with a remainder of 1. (There are
6 - divisor
three groups of sixes and another group consisting of the one.) The
18 - dividend
remainder is usually expressed as a fraction (remainder over divisor).

remainder of 1) or as 3 1/6 (three and one-sixth). The second method
442 - dividend
(whole number and a fraction) is the preferred method of stating the

answer. Another way of expressing the answer (especially if you are
29 - quotient
using a calculator) is as a decimal (see Frame 1-24).

division must be set up correctly in order to solve it. In addition, you
must put like units under like units (ones under ones, tens under tens,
