Grouping is when we divide a number of objects into equal groups. We know the total number of objects and the number of objects in each group, but we do not know how many equal groups there are.

Division means splitting into equal parts or groups

A remainder is the amount left over after division when the dividend does not divide exactly by the divisor.
