A leftover is a share that isn’t whole yet.

Division is fair sharing. Deal until there aren’t enough left to go round again: that’s the remainder, and it’s always smaller than the number of friends. Multiply back and add the remainder to check. And if the thing can be cut, the remainder becomes a fraction of a share: R 1 among 4 friends is 14 each.
