What is a remainder?
A remainder is what’s left over when a number doesn’t divide exactly. 23 ÷ 5: four 5s make 20, and 3 are left, so 23 ÷ 5 = 4 r 3. The remainder is always smaller than the number you’re dividing by.
To find it, use the biggest times table fact that fits. If those aren’t quick yet, practise division facts first.

Tips for dividing with remainders
Find the biggest fact that fits: for 38 ÷ 7, 5 × 7 = 35 fits but 6 × 7 = 42 is too big. So the answer is 5 r 3.
The remainder is the gap: 38 − 35 = 3.
Check: the remainder must be smaller than the divisor. If it isn’t, another lot fits.
