Interpret the Remainder Word Problems: Group-Size-Unknown 4-70
Interpret the remainder when dividing to find the size of each group. If 829 is divided into 3 equal groups, what's the most that can be in each group? 829 = 600+210+18+1, so 829÷3 = (6 hundreds÷3) + (21 tens÷3) + (18 ones÷3) + (1 one÷3) = 276 R1. The most that can be in each group is 276, so the remainder is ignored.
