Let's say you divide 25 by 4. You will get a quotient 6, but have that remainder of 1. You could also divide 37 by 6, and likewise get a quotient of 6, with a remainder of 1. The difference is that the remainders are not truly the same. The first remainder is 1 part out of 4, but the second remainder is 1 part out of 6. Does that make sense?
