Division is splitting a group of something into equal pieces
Division is similar to fractions and is basically the opposite of multiplication. For example 3 x 4 =12. Its optional to reverse that in to division to make it 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Remainders are the remaining numbers. For example 149 ÷ 4. It is possible to divide 100 and 40 by 4, but we can't divide 9 by 4. The closest answer we could get is 2 but there'd be one leftover. The basic answer is 37 remainder 1. It is possible to make that answer more precise.
To make the answer more precise then divide the remainder by 4. The answer to that is 0.25, so add this to the 37. This gives a more precise answer, which is 37.25
Divison is a good strategy to understand because it helps you in multiplcation and fractions.
