Representing Remainders as Fractions (Part 1)

The video tutorial explains the concept of remainders in division. It begins by introducing the idea of multiples and how they relate to division. The tutorial then explores what happens when dividing numbers that are not multiples of each other, resulting in a remainder. An example of dividing 5 by 2 is used to illustrate this concept. The video also discusses alternative ways to represent remainders, using the example of dividing 33 by 6. Throughout, the importance of understanding factors and multiples in division is emphasized.

What is a multiple of a number?

• A number that is always less than 5

• A number that can be divided by another number without a remainder

• A number that is always greater than 10

• A number that cannot be divided by any other number

What happens when you divide a number that is not a multiple of another?

• The result is always zero

• The division is not possible

• You get a remainder

• You get a whole number quotient
