Dividing with remainders

To divide is to make equal groups of a certain amount or to make certain amount of groups of the same amount of elements.
Doing this process you might find some cases where some elements can´t be grouped, this is what we called remainder.
For example: 47 ÷ 9, means to make groups of 9 with 47 elements.

So: 47 ÷ 9 = 5 groups and 2 left over.
