where is the rest of the question?

you have a variable divided by a number 

you only have a remainder after dividing like terms and the dividend is not a multiple of the divisor 
for example 24/6 = 4  24 is a multiple of 6 so no remainder but if you had 24/5 it would be 4 with a remainder of 4 because 24 is not a multiple of 5   4 groups of 5 = 20 you have 4 left over
