When we divide 14 stars into groups of 4, we get 3 full groups and 2 stars left over. What do we call the 2 stars?
Correct Answer
The remainder
Explanation
The leftover part that cannot form a complete group is called the remainder. In \(14 \div 4 = 3\) R 2, the remainder is 2 because \(3 \times 4 = 12\) and \(14 - 12 = 2\).
