Let's divide 14 by 4 to find the quotient and the remainder

We can see how many 4s will fit into 14 by finding the biggest multiple of 4 that will fit into 14

4 times 2 is 8, so that fits comfortably into 14

4 times 3 is 12, so we're getting close. Let's try one more

No, 4 times 4 is 16, so that's too large as it's bigger than 14

If we can take 3 groups of 4, which is 12, out of 14, how many are left. We can subtract to find that there are 2 left that won't evenly fit into our 4 groups.

So our answer is 3 groups of 4, and 2 left over. Or, we say that as 3, remainder 2.
