Four fives reach 20 and there is not enough left for a fifth. The 4 still sitting there is the remainder, and it is always smaller than the number you were counting in.

  1. 1.Work out each division, then sort it by whether it goes exactly or leaves something over.

    Groups: Goes exactly · Leaves something over

    • 40 ÷ 5
    • 63 ÷ 9
    • 36 ÷ 6
    • 45 ÷ 7
    • 50 ÷ 8
    • 70 ÷ 4

  2. 2.Divide 47 by 5. How many whole fives are there?

  3. 3.96 ÷ 4 = ?

  4. 4.Divide 68 by 7. What is left over?

  5. 5.There are 53 apples to be packed into bags of 8. How many full bags are there?
