  1. Interpreting the Remainder There are 4 different ways you can interpret the remainder.

  2. Interpret The Remainder Ignore the Remainder. The problem does not make use of the remainder so it can be ignored. Add 1 to the whole number quotient. In order to take care of all parts of the problem, one must be added to the whole number quotient. The Remainder is the answer. The question asks what is left after something has been divided.  Share the Remainder. Share the remainder so it becomes part of the quotient. This will result in a fraction or decimal.
