Question

Use counters to find the quotient and remainder for 36 divide a by 8

Answer 1

First, you take 36 counters and spread them out. You then separate them into groups of 8 and any left that cannot be separated into groups of 8 are the remainders. When you do this, you will find that you are able to separate 36 into 4 groups of eight, and you will get a remainder of 4, so your answer is 4 remainder 4
